Faculty of 1000

Faculty of 1000 is an online awareness service for biologists. It is produced by a panel of more than 2000 biological researchers, who regularly identify and evaluate the research articles that they have found most interesting in the recently published literature.

The idea of Faculty of 1000 is that it acts as a filter, highlighting the most significant research. One of the most popular features of the site is the Hidden Jewels page, which identifies articles that have been highly rated by scientists, but which were not published in one of the dozen or so most highly read journals, and so may have been missed.
