The F1000 publishing model combines the speed of preprints, with the benefits of full publication. This includes functionality that ensures the robustness, quality, and transparency of research using rigorous editorial checks, open data, and invited open peer review. Authors are given autonomy throughout the entire publishing process.

How does the model work?
1. Article submission
Authors submit their work via a single-page submission system. The in-house editorial team carries out a rigorous check on each submission to ensure that all policies are adhered to.
2. Publication and data deposition
Once the authors have finalized the manuscript, the article is published within a week, enabling immediate viewing and citation.
3. Open peer review and user commenting
Expert reviewers are selected and invited. Their reports and names are published alongside the article, together with the authors’ responses and comments from registered users.
4. Article revision
Authors are encouraged to publish revised versions of their article. All versions of an article are linked and independently citable. Articles that pass peer review are indexed in external databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
