Introduction to Wellcome Open Research

This session will introduce the open publishing and peer review model used by Wellcome Open Research, including advice for first-time authors. 

Wellcome Open Research is a fully Open Access publishing platform that can be used by all Wellcome Trust funded projects and researchers to openly disseminate research outputs. Submissions to Wellcome Open Research are subject to editorial checks that ensure the robustness, quality, and transparency of the underlying research. Following these checks, articles are published Open Access before peer review, so that they can be viewed and cited as quickly as possible. Expert reviewers are then selected and invited, and their reports and names are published alongside the article, post-publication.

This webinar will include a presentation on the publication requirements for Wellcome Open Research, and the submission, revision, and post-publication open peer review workflows. We will provide advice for authors on how to ensure that submissions meet the requirements for open publishing, and how to engage with the revision and peer review process that follows. You will also have the opportunity to hear from a Wellcome Open Research author about their experience of using the platform to publish their research. There will be a Q&A and the session will be recorded for registrants who are unable to attend live.
