Research FOMO – Do you have it?
If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of research papers published in your field, then you are not alone; data from PubMed suggests that over 3000 articles are published every single day. It’s therefore not surprising that you may be suffering from FOMO – fear of missing out on key research.
Isn’t more published research a good thing?
Yes, undoubtedly it is! The more research is published the more it encourages conversation within the community, which in turn leads to further advancements in our scientific understanding. However, owing to the sheer amount of research activity that is conducted all of the time, ...

“Balance for Better is about Opportunity, Collaboration and Support”
Here at F1000, we talk a lot about the importance of being open; open science, open data, and open research. We are also open in the way we work, by supporting a workplace which is open to different gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, cultures, religions, disabilities, ethnic origins, and social backgrounds.
We asked our team members for their views on what #BalanceforBetter means to them and for the career advice they would offer their younger self.
Molly Cranston, Senior Associate Editor:
What does #BalanceforBetter mean to you and why is it important for open research?

Better the Balance, Better the World, Better the Science
The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is #BalanceforBetter, which encourages a more gender-balanced world to drive change and progress. This extends to science and research, statistics from WISE stated that since 2011, there has been a year on year increase in the number of women in core STEM occupations. We need to continue this good work, and head for a future where women feel more empowered and supported to enter a career in science.
To mark the day, we spoke to Rupshi Mitra, Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and author of a paper published on F1000Research for her th...

Creating an Inclusive Research Landscape
An opinion article recently published in the Science Policy Research gateway on F1000Research covers the outcomes from an invitation-only workshop entitled “Imagining Tomorrow’s University.”
The NIH- and NSF-funded workshop brought together early career researchers, university leaders, funding agencies, and eleven organizers and other stakeholders to launch a new dialog around open research – the current status, opportunities for advancement, challenges that limit sharing, and how universities should adapt to this new landscape.
In this Q&A, we catch up with the article author Daniel S. Katz,...

“ Oncology is a very dynamic specialty and is of the utmost importance ”
Can you tell us a little bit about your work and current research?
To tell you about my work as a specialist in Medical Oncology, I must first briefly present the situation in Romania. Unfortunately, in Romania, a medical oncologist must overcome many difficulties. As a resident, you become a specialist in medical oncology following 5 years of specialization in the field and an examination. Then, after another 5 years, you will specialize in medical oncology and receive the title of “Primary Doctor” (this is the highest professional degree in medical care, in other words: Senior Medical Oncologist).
Unfortunately, rese...
