Collections are compilations of related research on F1000Research and other eligible F1000 Platforms. They are pages enabling the curation of thematic research, conference outputs, and community projects across all disciplines.
While Gateways provide broad-scope, personalized research spaces for organizations and research communities, Collections focus on more specific research areas.
Researchers
Encourage new lines of research in your field and become an advocate for open research.
We partner with researchers across all disciplines to create Collections. As a Guest Advisor, you can work alongside a Content Acquisition Editor at F1000 to lead the scope of a new Collection.

Lead a Collection as a Guest Advisor
Active researchers can partner with F1000 to lead on creating a new Collection as a Guest Advisor. Guest Advisors should be advocates of open research, have an extensive research network, and be thought leaders in their field.
Key responsibilities include:
- Defining the aims and scope of the Collection
- Providing a compelling title and description
- Suggesting potential authors for the Collection
- Promoting the Collection within their networks
- Working with our marketing team to provide insight for promotional materials
Guest Advisors work alongside a Content Acquisition Editor at F1000, who will be responsible for setting up the Collection online, sending out invitations, and providing guidance on the scope and marketing of their collection.
