In May 2021, Wellcome Open Research launched the Tree of Life Gateway. This Gateway serves as an open publishing hub for the Darwin Tree of Life, Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics, and 25 Genomes for 25 Years projects, all supported by the Wellcome Sanger Institute.  The primary goal of the Gateway is to publish the genome sequences […]

Mental health research on Wellcome Open Research

Millions of people are held back by mental health problems. Interventions aren’t effective enough for everyone, have trade-offs, and face challenges when scaling globally. Barriers to collaboration are hindering progress. From improving our understanding of anxiety, depression, and psychosis, to developing new effective interventions, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, the Wellcome Trust is working towards a world […]

Article type spotlight: Study Protocols and Registered Reports

Over recent years, many researchers have alluded to a ‘reproducibility crisis’, where many studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce, raising questions about the findings. So, how can researchers make their work more reproducible? The diverse article types available to authors publishing on Wellcome Open Research also offer a solution to this challenge.

In this blog post, we discuss Study Protocols and Registered Reports, and how they can be utilised to prevent the manipulation of results and increase the repeatability of published studies.

Infectious disease research on Wellcome Open Research

The Wellcome Trust is dedicated to improving understanding of infectious diseases and developing new interventions.  By targeting specific research problems that others are not prioritising, Wellcome-funded researchers can channel their resources, skills and expertise to drive impact where it is most needed.

Wellcome Open Research has many Gateways on the topic of infectious diseases. In this blog post, we highlight some of the Gateways and recent research that are helping to further our understanding of infectious diseases worldwide.

Overcoming the reproducibility crisis – how to make your work more reproducible

Reproducibility is important as it shows that research results are reliable, not random or biased. However, many researchers find it challenging to make their work reproducible.

In this blog post, we examine the barriers to reproducibility and offer insight into making your work as reproducible as possible.

How to apply peer reviewer feedback to your research

Peer review is important for academic publishing, helping to maintain quality and trust in research. After your manuscript passes our editorial checks and is published on Wellcome Open Research, the F1000 Editorial Team will invite experts from your field to carefully review the paper. These peer reviewers will provide feedback and will most likely offer […]

Open data FAQs

Open data can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be! In this blog post, we’ll cover some of the frequently asked questions our team receives about Open Data to help you get your data ready for submission to Wellcome Open Research.

The importance of reproducibility in open research

Reproducibility can demonstrate that research results are not due to bias or chance, which is vital for accurate and reliable results. It refers to the degree to which other researchers can achieve the same results using the same dataset and analysis as the original research. Research is reproducible when other researchers can achieve the results […]
