F1000Prime Identifies Important Articles In Biology And Medicine
If you are a researcher in biology or medicine, F1000 Prime could help you stay on top of new developments in your field.
F1000Prime differentiates itself from other subject-specific databases by relying on selected expert scientists and clinical researchers to identify important work in their disciplines. Experts, approximately 5,000 individuals, make article recommendations and then score them. Articles recommended for inclusion are ranked according to how many experts have recommended them. Several articles by UC Merced researchers are included.
The database is searchable by the most recommended articles (All Time Top 10), author, area of study and article type. F1000Prime also includes a section, Hidden Jewels, which features articles from the past 14 days published in specialist journals.
The UC Merced Library subscribes to F1000Prime, and it’s worth a look.
