F1000: Partnering with an open science publisher

F1000 is a scholarly publisher providing ‘beyond Open Access’ publishing solutions to leading global research organizations. At F1000 we want to remove the barriers for researchers to publish and ensure all the outputs of research – across all its forms and formats – are as discoverable, accessible, usable, and re-usable as possible. Our publishing solutions are designed to support researchers and:

- Enable the shift to open science 
- Promote a range of research outputs from a variety of research roles and all stages of the research cycle
- Support researchers across all career stages and all fields of research
- Support the dissemination of research, based on the soundness of science 
- Maximizing the potential for the use and re-use of research. 

We work in partnership with a wide range of institutions, societies, and funding organizations to create high-quality, open science publishing venues which comply with even the strictest Open Access mandates and deliver solutions tailored to organizational needs and aspirations around open. Join Becky Hill, Strategic Partnership Manager at F1000, as she outlines how we co-create publishing solutions for research organizations to help them achieve their goals and stay at the forefront of scholarly communication.
