Ali is right, F1000Research is not indexed in Web of Science, but once a manuscript pass peer review will be indexed in Scopus and Pubmed. If not only the rapid publishing process but the Impact Factor is also matter for you, PeerJ can be a good option. I recommend to publish the manuscript firsty to PeerJ Preprint, and after query the peer-review in PeerJ.

Hello,

F1000 Research is not a journal, and doesn't want to be mistaken for a journal. Their FAQ page says ( https://f1000research.com/faqs ): "F1000Research is a publishing platform and not a journal ... ... Hence the journal Impact Factor is a particularly unsuitable measure for our way of publishing, not to mention a highly misleading metric for research assessment ... ...."

Regards,

Gerwin

Gerwin is right , the F1000Research is a publishing platform not a journal.

However, it should be mentioned the principle that F1000Research represents is remarkable with transparency and rapidity being the main objective of the open peer review. Here is a good study that compares four STEM journals (rather, publishing entities): https://f1000research.com/articles/4-6/v2

The title is not included in the latest JRC and consequently has not impact factor.

Thank you very much Bence Matyas for your valuable opinion.

It dont have any impact factor and its not a journal.

It is not a journal in the traditional sense and its factor doesn't appear in the webpage.

However, it is indexed in many databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, Europe PMC, Scopus, Chemical Abstracts Service, British Library, CrossRef, DOAJ, and Embase) and has a factor.

F1000Research Impact Factor is 1,709.

Impact factor is a term used for frequency of citations to articles published by any publishing platform. It that sence F1000research should have an impact factors if it contains peer reviewed articls. It strict sense, it’s not a journal.

Dear Masoud Mozafari

Acording to http://rsf.research.ac.ir/

This journal has not IF but indexed in PubMed, Scopus and Embase. CiteScore of this journal is 1.59 .

Best regards

This journal is charging 1000-2000 USD, and spending such high publication charges would be better that to opt for IF journals, if articles are sound enough.
