Health Open Research:
Cause, Cure & Care

Launching in November 2022

An introduction to the new Health Open Research Platform

We are excited to introduce Health Open Research: Cause, Cure & Care, a new open research publishing venue for researchers working in health, medical and social care research.

Launching in November 2022, Health Open Research will allow authors to publish their research utilizing F1000’s innovative publishing model and to share and discover trusted research in an open, accessible, and reusable way.

As well as traditional Research Articles, Health Open Research will host a variety of non-traditional article types, including Policy Briefs, Study Protocols, Clinical Practice Articles, and more. All research will be published open access and will benefit from open and invited post-publication peer review.

We have worked with the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) to develop a platform which aims to maximize the potential and real-world impact of research.

We invite all organizations, research institutes and researchers who are interested in working with us on Health Open Research to get in touch.
