For several years, the MSK Library has been providing access to a “revolutionary post-publication peer review service” called F1000Prime. Originally called “Faculty of 1000” Biology (when it first launched in 2002), named for the one thousand “leading scientists and clinical researchers” providing recommendations and highlighting “the most interesting articles published in the biomedical sciences”, the faculty has now grown to more than 5,000. Amongst F1000’s many experts (organized in a structure of Heads of Faculty, Section Heads, Faculty Members, and Associate Faculty Members) are a number of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) researchers and clinicians.

In the last year, the F1000 services have expanded quite dramatically to include F1000Workspace, “a web-based reference library and citation tool that enables users to instantly collect and annotate papers while automatically storing them in cloud.”  Although still in beta mode, F1000Workspace even offers co-authors the ability to work on a shared manuscript together in a collaborative workspace in the cloud. (Please keep an eye out for future “Resource Highlights” posts that will explore the features of F1000Workspace in more detail.)

For more information on F1000Prime, please see their FAQ or ask us at the MSK Library.
