You can browse
evaluations within Faculty of 1000 Biology, grouped by Faculty and
then by Sections within each Faculty.
Faculties & Sections
Clicking on each Faculty will reveal its list of Sections and
enable you to narrow your browse to a specified subject area.
Sort Bar
Papers are initially listed chronologically, but the sort bar gives
you the option of sorting the papers by F1000 Biology Factor
(rating), classification (eg Technical advance), chronology, number
of selectors, and time span.
Rating badge
Faculty members assign to each paper they select one of three
ratings: ‘Exceptional’, ‘Must Read’ or
‘Recommended’. These are used to calculate the F1000
Biology Factor and consensus rating. Faculty members also classify
each paper according to the type of scientific advance: New
Finding, Technical Advance, Interesting Hypothesis, Important
Confirmation, Controversial Finding, Refutation or Novel Drug Target. |
