  selected leading researchers.
• Based on papers scientific merit, rather than
  the journal they appear in
• Offers ratings by the author's peers

  insider's guide to the most important papers
  within any given field of research

F1000 Ratings
Faculty may assign one of 3 ratings Recommended,
Must Read or Exceptional,
33
Rating Definitions

• Recommended" Recommended reading for a section
  (i.e. of specialist interest) (F1000 Biology
  rating of 3)
• "Must read" Must read for more than one
  subject/section (i.e. of general interest)
  (F1000 Biology rating of 6)
• "Exceptional" A landmark paper representing the
  top 1 of publications (F1000 Biology rating of
  9).
• The ratings assigned to each paper is then used
  to calculate its F1000 factor, which also takes
  into account the number of Faculty members who
  have picked the same paper.

34
Ratings The F1000 Factor

• Faculty members assign to each paper they select
  ratings of Recommended, Must Read or Exceptional,
  which correspond to F1000 Factors of 3, 6 and 9,
  respectively. If a paper has more than one
  evaluation, its F1000 Factor is calculated by the
  following formula
• F1000 Factor Mean of Highest Two Scores (Sum
  of All Scores/30)
• For example, a paper picked by three Faculty
  members, two give it a rating of Must Read and
  the third a rating of Exceptional, would give it
  a F1000 Factor of (69)/2 (669)/30 8.2
• This corresponds to an "Exceptional" rating
  badge.
