Illume Research, an innovative education consultancy preparing Chinese students to study abroad with mentors at institutions such as Cambridge, Harvard and Princeton, has partnered with open research publisher F1000, part of the Taylor & Francis Group, to launch Illume Talents, an open research publishing hub (‘Gateway’) for Illume students and educators. The Gateway will sit on F1000’s flagship platform F1000Research, and will benefit from established indexation in Scopus and DOAJ.
Illume Talents enables all research outputs to be published using F1000’s trailblazing open research publishing model, combining the benefits of pre-printing (providing rapid publication) with mechanisms to assure quality and transparency (invited and open peer review, archiving and indexing). To fully represent the value of all work undertaken by researchers, Illume Talents will publish peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed outputs from across the research journey (such as study protocols, data notes, posters and slides), and confirmatory findings or null and negative results are encouraged equally. All outputs published are free to access and read – for anyone, at any time. This publishing model is also used on the customised Platforms that F1000 provides for major global funders such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome, the European Commission and many others.
A spokesperson for Illume said:
“There is a Chinese saying, ‘It takes ten years to grow trees and one hundred years to cultivate people.’ Given the complexity and diversity of the development of talents, practical strategies are on the agenda. This Gateway aims to enlighten young learners and researchers to develop their talent by means of ‘learning by doing scientific research’. To promote the importance of innovation, we endeavour to engage educators, including principals, teachers, and researchers in various disciplines to empower young learners and researchers with inquiry-based learning by doing scientific research projects to develop students’ all-round competencies.”
Rebecca Lawrence, Managing Director of F1000, said:
“Illume looks towards the future, recognizing the immense potential of researchers at all stages of their careers. Through the Illume Talents Gateway, young professionals will have the invaluable opportunity to hone their skills, while simultaneously sharing their unique insights with the global scholarly community. At F1000, we also recognize the immense value of early career researchers, and we are excited to partner with Illume to bring open research to the world and cultivate the next generation of great researchers.”
Illume Talents has begun publishing and is actively encouraging submissions from students and educators affiliated with Illume.
