Editorials are short personal perspectives relevant to the aims of the Japan Institutional Gateway on F1000Research.

Specifically, they have been developed to enable advisors overseeing the Japan Institutional Gateway to announce the launch of their Gateway, to explain its aims and scope and specific processes, or communicate policies or other developments that are directly relevant to the group of researchers they represent. Advisors can publish no more than two Editorials per year.

Editorials are not formally peer reviewed and must not include new research and data. They are evaluated by the editorial team in house, if necessary in consultation with Gateway Advisors. Editorials can only be submitted by invitation and ultimate editorial responsibility for the Editorial lies with F1000Research’s Publishing Director.
