New F1000 App Helps Researchers Explore Content in Elsevier’s SciVerse
Faculty of 1000 (F1000), an online service that selects and evaluates articles based on the opinions of global leaders in biology and medicine, announced the launch of a new application that helps researchers explore the scientific content in biology and medicine included in Elsevier’s SciVerse platform. Once a SciVerse user adds the app, the articles that have been highlighted by the F1000 faculty will display a badge that, when clicked, brings the user to the F1000 evaluation.“The Faculty of 1000 app now available in SciVerse Applications allows researchers to tap into the collective knowledge of our 10,000 experts to determine which research is essential reading and to find relevant information efficiently,” said Jane Hunter, managing director of F1000. “With the continued volume growth of published research, the guidance of the F1000 faculty becomes even more essential for researchers.” SciVerse Applications and the Developer Network provide opportunities for researchers and librarians to collaborate with developers in creating and promoting new applications that improve research workflows. The Developer Network features a growing community of application developers that gain potential recognition, prestige, and revenue through their contributions to SciVerse Applications.
