Benefits of Depositing
Widen your audience: Posters and presentations deposited in F1000 Posters are free to view, therefore including all those who couldn’t make the meeting. Even if your work has not been presented at a national/international meeting, you can still deposit it with us, we will simply ask for names of experts in the field who we will invite to approve your submission.
Visibility for all research: Visibility is provided for research that may never lead to a published article, most notably those with negative results or case studies.
Multidisciplinary discussion: Receive ideas and feedback from those in your field who could not make your presentation and also from those peripheral to your specific field of work, who would not normally attend the conference.
Associate your work with resulting publications: Articles resulting from the research are linked to the poster/slides, thus keeping a permanent record of the development of the research.
Facilitate research: The early dissemination of new ideas and results may help to facilitate the research in your field and assist teams working on similar projects by pooling knowledge and findings as soon as possible.
Evaluation in F1000: Deposited work is eligible for selection and evaluation by F1000's core evaluation service. Evaluated posters and slides are indexed in F1000 along with the top articles in biomedicine.
Quick, easy and free to deposit!
