The prizes will comprise of:

dations so that they can keep up to date with the top
articles in the literature, and help in supplementing
ongoing projects.”
2. A free submission to F1000Research – “we provide
the winners with the opportunity to publish their work
rapidly with no hassle, giving them quick priority on
their work, and enabling everyone in the field to bene-
fit from their work right away.”
3. A Faculty of 1000 certificate – “because it’s nice to
have a hard copy of the achievement for the award
winner’s record and curriculum vitae”.
F1000 is composed of 5,000 Faculty Members – senior
scientists and leading experts in all areas of biology and
medicine – plus their associates. The Faculty recommends
