**With Apologies for Cross-Posting** (link added)
Wellcome will launch an open research publishing platform this autumn to enable their grantees to rapidly publish all
outputs from their research.
Wellcome Open Research
will use services developed by F1000Research to make research outputs available faster and in ways that support reproducibility and transparency. It will enable their grantees to publish a wide variety of outputs from standard research articles and
data sets, through to null and negative results.
The platform will use a model of immediate publication followed by transparent invited peer review, with inclusion of
supporting data, enabling researchers to reanalyse, replicate and reuse the data, all of which will help to improve the reproducibility and reliability of the research it publishes.
