Sidra Medical and Research Center (Sidra) has launched its open science publishing programme on F1000Research. The programme, led by Sidra’s Research team will use the groundbreaking F1000Research platform as an open science publishing venue for Sidra researchers.
F1000Reserach is an open science publishing platform that offers immediate publication and transparent peer review of scientific research. The platform aims to avoid editorial bias by ensuring the inclusion of all source data. The process helps scientists to avoid the traditional, anonymous, pre-publication peer-review process that can cause long delays before new results become visible.
The Sidra Gateway -http://f1000research.com/channels/sidra - publishes academic articles, data and presentations by its research staff, with a particular focus on pregnancy, cancer immunogenomics (treatment of cancer using genomic immunotherapy), and transcriptomics (the study of the subset of transcribed genes in specific organisms). All articles and associated data are published immediately followed by open invited peer review.
