Funder requirements
− Those who pay for your (academic) research…
− … want your important data to be disseminated as widely as possible
− … want your data to be reproducible
− … want you to manage your data well
− … for your own impact and the impact of the funder
− … for economic impact
− … since society has paid the bill
− Funders have been communicating this more and more loudly for 2-3 years

TRANSPARENCY IN DATA SHARING AND PEER REVIEW
Eva Amsen, PhD Outreach Director, F1000Research
[email protected] http://f1000research.com
@f1000Research
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS F1000RESEARCH?
F1000Research is an open access journal for life scientists that accepts all scientifically sound articles, ranging from single findings, case reports, protocols, replications, and null or negative results to more traditional articles.
Key features:
• Publication within a week
• Transparent, post-publication peer review
• All data included
• Accepts non-traditional article types
WHAT IS F1000RESEARCH?
F1000Research has a prestigious international Advisory Panel of more than 200 of the most eminent names in biology and medicine, and over 1,100 expert Editorial Board members, including: • Oliver Distler (Uni. Zurich) • Ben Schuler (Uni. Zurich) • Adrian Hehl (Uni. Zurich) • Christian Munz (Uni. Zurich) • Leo Eberl (Uni. Zurich) • Bruno Stieger (Uni. Hospital Zurich)

FROM OPEN ACCESS TO OPEN DATA
THINK ABOUT DATA...
Not all scientific data have been published. ....why not?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC
http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_what_doctors_don_t_know_about_the_drugs_they_prescribe.html
PUBLICATION BIAS
• Negative or null studies difficult to publish
• Refutation studies difficult to publish
• Replication studies difficult to publish
REPLICATION
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15373071
PROBLEMS WITH DATA SHARING IN BIOMEDICAL LITERATURE
• Data not included with papers • Data behind a paywall • Data not licensed for re-use (legal issues) • Single data sets not published at all • Inconsistent requirements for data deposition • No (perceived) immediate benefit to individuals
DATA SHARING PLATFORMS
• Platforms to publish negative data • Journals that accept negative data • Preprint servers
• Platforms to deposit data • Structured repositories (for one type of data)
e.g. GenBank, PDB • Unstructured repositories
e.g. Institutional repositories, Figshare
DATA SHARING POLICIES
• Guidelines and standards to regulate and facilitate sharing formats e.g. Journals request MIAME format for microarray data,
and PDB deposit for protein structures • Funding requirements • http://biosharing.org
A REGISTRY OF STANDARDS, DATABASES AND POLICIES
• A coherent, curated and searchable registry of standards for data sharing
Courtesy of Susanna Sansone
BUT DATA ARE NOT BEING SHARED...
“A substantial proportion of original research papers published in high-impact journals are either not subject to any data availability policies, or do not adhere to the data
availability instructions in their respective journals.”
“Journals should adopt more routinely policies for data sharing”
Alsheikh-Ali AA, Qureshi W, Al-Mallah MH, Ioannidis JPA (2011) Public Availability of Published Research Data in High-Impact Journals. PLoS ONE 6(9): e24357.
doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0024357
F1000RESEARCH DATA SHARING POLICY
1. Include all data with publication • Data deposited in suitable data repositories, or via
Figshare. • CC0 licence: reusable
2. Allow non-traditional publications
• Data articles, short research papers, negative results...
DATA ARTICLE
TRANSPARENCY: ALL DATA AVAILABLE
“One goal we had for publishing this Data article in F1000Research was to quickly share some of our ongoing behavioral datasets in
order to encourage collaboration with others in the field.”

F1000POSTERS
F1000Posters (http://f1000.com/posters) is a unique open access repository for posters and slide presentations in biology and medicine. This permanent, structured environment keeps researchers’ work visible long after a meeting has ended and maximizes the return on the time, effort and money invested in creating each presentation.
• Free to access and free to deposit
• Visibility for your research beyond scientific meetings
• Enables peers to provide feedback on early work
• Poster publication supported by many leading journals and publishers including Nature, PNAS, Elsevier, BMJ, Lancet, PLOS, BioMed Central, SAGE and others. See: http://f1000.com/posters/journalresponses

OPEN PEER REVIEW
The Rise of Open Access Science 4 October 2013: Vol. 342 no. 6154 pp. 58-59
THE PUBLICATION PROCESS
Most journals publish papers after they pass peer review. The peer review process can take months – sometimes years. After rejection, start over again with another journal. This delays publication.
PUBLICATION DELAY IS A PROBLEM
• Can be scooped during review process
• No recent published work to show for funding applications
• Lab members leave during revision process, and paper may never be published if the project is abandoned.
• Slows down research progress
• Frustrating...
THE PUBLICATION PROCESS
• F1000Research articles are published online after an in-house pre-refereeing check, on average, within 6 working days.
• Peer review and revisions are carried out publicly. • Articles with sufficient positive referee reports are indexed in PubMed.
VERSIONS Different versions of the
article are tracked
REFEREE SCORES
• Approved
• Approved with reservations
• Not approved
Articles with sufficient positive evaluations are indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase.
or
Minimal requirements for indexing
CITING F1000RESEARCH PAPERS
• Citations to F1000Research papers point to a particular version.
Example citation:
Spence J, Titov N, Johnston L et al. (2013) Internet-delivered eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (iEMDR): an open trial [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/zr] F1000Research 2013, 2:79 (doi: 10.12688/f1000research.2-79.v2)
• If a paper has been updated since it was cited, and readers land on an outdated version of an article, a pop-up message on the article page makes readers aware that there is a newer version:
REFEREE REPORTS ARE PUBLIC
All referee names are visible.
Referee reports and other comments are
visible to anyone.
JOURNALS WITH TRANSPARENT PEER REVIEW 2012: F1000Research All reviewers named, all reports public. eLife Decision letter published with articles with author approval. Reviewers
anonymous, but editor named. PeerJ Peer review history published with articles with author approval. Reviewers
encouraged to sign report, and editor always named. GigaScience Pre-publication history published with articles, and reviewers named. (encouraged, opt-out) 2011 BMJ Open All reviewers named, all reports public 2010 EMBO journal Review process file published with articles. Reviewers anonymous, editor named. 2007 Frontiers journals Reviewers named, but reports not public 2006 Biology Direct Reviewer comments published, and reviewers named 2001 Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Reviewers comments published on pre-publication discussion site.
Reviewer names optional. 2000 Medical journals in the BMC series Pre-publication history published with articles, and reviewers named
(encouraged).
BENEFITS OF TRANSPARENT REVIEW FOR AUTHORS AND READERS • Visible discussion between referees and authors (and
editors) puts paper in context. • Referees are good at spotting broader significance of an article.
• Shows the back story of a paper. (e.g. Why did it take 3 rounds of review?
• Authors can demonstrate that their paper was reviewed by top people in their field.
• Reduces bias amongst referees • Educational aspect of open peer review:
• Open referee reports can serve as examples.
• Demonstrates differences between reviewers
USING OPEN REFEREE REPORTS AS EDUCATIONAL TOOL
http://bit.ly/OpenPeerReviewExamples
BENEFITS FOR REVIEWERS
• Take credit for hard work
• Demonstrate experience as reviewer
• Shows reviewer’s informed opinion of the work as a peer in the field, and where they thought it could be improved. • Especially relevant in borderline cases, where an article just barely
passed review.
GENERAL INFORMATION
WHY PUBLISH WITH F1000RESEARCH?
•Speed of publication
•Post-publication peer review means your article can be published within a week.
•Transparent peer review reduces bias and improves quality of reviews
•Revise or update your article after publication
•Newer versions of the paper are linked to previous versions.
