Faculty of 1000 Medicine (F1000M) saves you time and effort by identifying and rating the most current high-impact articles and providing expert opinions that explain the key findings and critical impact.
The evaluation and commentary in F1000M is provided by a “faculty” of more than 2,400 top global clinicians and researchers, including seven at UT Southwestern. Faculty members select, rate, and comment on two to four of the most interesting papers they read each month. Rating levels include “Exceptional,” “Must Read,” and “Recommended.” By rating articles based on their individual merits rather than the journal in which they appear, this system provides a useful alternative to impact factors and citation scores.
Features include:

• “Hidden Jewels”: Identifies high-impact articles published in less widely distributed journals.
• Top 10s: Lists best, classic and most-viewed papers across the whole of medicine or by specialty.
• My F1000M: Displays most recently selected papers in your field of interest.
• Email Alerts: Sends you notices tailored to your area of interest.
• Advanced Search: Runs and stores simple or sophisticated searches.

F1000M has recently added F1000M Reports, a journal that publishes short commentaries by expert clinicians that focus on the most important studies that are likely to change clinical practice. The commentaries summarize the implications of new research findings for clinicians.
Faculty of 1000 Medicine is a sister product to Faculty of 1000 Biology. To find F1000M on the Library Web site, use the “Quick Links” box.
