Faculty of 1000-New Resource

Faculty of 1000 is an online research service that comprehensively and systematically highlight and review the most interesting papers published in the biological sciences, based on the recommendations of a faculty of well over 1000 selected leading researchers. This service provides scientists with a continuously updated insider's guide to the most important papers within any given field of research, highlights papers on the basis of their scientific merit rather than the journal in which they appear, offers the researcher a consensus of recommendations from well over 1000 leading scientists, and systematically organizes and evaluates the mass of information within scientific literature. Faculty of 1000 provides an immediate rating of individual papers by the authors' peers, and an important complement to the indirect assessment provided by the journal impact factor.
