100 up: an analysis of the first 100 articles published on Wellcome Open Research

In August 2017 – some nine months after the platform was first launched – Wellcome Open Research published its 100th article. To mark this milestone, Robert Kiley, Head of Open Research, Wellcome, and Michael Markie, Publisher, F1000 Platforms, provide an overview of the type of research that has been published since launch including how it has been used; give an analysis of the datasets underlying these publications; and provide information about the speed of publication and volume of peer review activity. They conclude by looking at how the number of publications on this platform compared with other journals used by Wellcome-funded researchers.
