impact.

null/negative results, small findings, case reports, data notes and
observation articles.
• Data included
All research articles are accompanied by the data on which the reported
results are based.
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
• The majority of leading publishers do not consider posters
deposited in F1000Posters to be prior publication, so you can
still publish the work as a paper. See:
