F1000Research and INCF Join Forces to Create Digital, Open Access Community Journal
Summary
The journal, which will be launched in August and will be the first of its kind for INCF, will also enable the organisation’s congress and workshop attendees to share and publish academic posters and slides in one searchable domain.Helena Ledmyr, Development Officer, INCF, said: “F1000Research offers us a unique opportunity to provide the neuroinformatics community with a publishing platform designed to make research and its underlying data openly accessible to everyone.We, therefore, look forward to working together to maximise the benefits we can bring to the neuroinformatics community through this important partnership.” For more information: Andrew Baud, Tala (on behalf of F1000 Research), +44 (0) 20 3397 3383 or +44 (0) 7775 715775 About F1000Research F1000Research is an open science publishing platform for life scientists that offers immediate publication and transparent peer review, avoiding editorial bias and ensuring the inclusion of all source data.The amount of data that can be generated in a typical neuroscience lab is growing at an amazing rate and the neuroinformatics community is working hard to facilitate the integration and sharing of this data in order to advance brain research.“We believe that having a dedicated space to publish this research will help us meet INCF’s goals of advancing understanding of the brain through collaborative research.”Michael Markie, Associate Publisher of F1000Research, said: “Having worked closely with the INCF for several years, it has become apparent that they would benefit from a publication of their own to capture all the exciting research that is coming out of the field.We, therefore, look forward to working together to maximise the benefits we can bring to the neuroinformatics community through this important partnership.”For more information:Andrew Baud, Tala (on behalf of F1000 Research), +44 (0) 20 3397 3383 or +44 (0) 7775 715775About F1000ResearchF1000Research is an open science publishing platform for life scientists that offers immediate publication and transparent peer review, avoiding editorial bias and ensuring the inclusion of all source data.
