We are delighted to share that the first preprints are now live on the new preprint server, VeriXiv (pronounced very-kive). VeriXiv is a new type of verified preprint server, developed through F1000’s partnership with the Gates Foundation.
In the first instance, this server will support Gates grantees in complying with their refreshed open access policy that requires all their funded research to be made available as a preprint from January 2025. However over time, we expect to expand the rem...
Before we down tools and take a much-needed break over the upcoming holiday period, I just wanted to pause for a moment to take a look back on all that we have learned and achieved in this last year. I thought it best to start this annual tradition by reflecting back on what I wrote this time last year, to see if we really have delivered on those hopes and aspirations I (perhaps rather boldly) set back then.

In this blog we spoke to Becky Hill about the collaborative partnership between F1000 and Taylor & Francis, and how...
We foster a culture of innovation to accelerate the reach of knowledge and put it in the hands of those who will shape the future.
