Is there an open version of f1000
I like the F1000 Faculty reviews of published papers. It has more traffic than the Pubmed Comments.
However, I don't really want to contribute to F1000. F1000 is a commercial company and charges for access. Why would I write reviews and give them to a commercial company to make money from? It'd be like Amazon selling my book reviews.
Is there a free and open project that collects research article reviews and publishes them under a free license?

I'm not sure if it's related to bioinformatics. Have a look at academia.stackexchange.com . ? e.g: https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/88943 "public opinion about published articles"
Oops, my fault, sorry! I didn't know about academia.stackexchange.com. Yes, this is not really related to bioinformatics. Thanks!
You mean, like, reviewing for Elsevier and Springer and all of those? With the difference that F1000 makes them openly available?
F1000 reviews are not made openly available, right? You have to pay to see them, as far as I know.
Below this article you can see the reviews right?
This is partially my mistake but you're confused like many other people: There is F1000 Faculty reviews of articles, and there is a journal now called F1000. The reviews of papers in the journal F1000 are free at the very least and also open acesss.
The reviews in F1000 Faculty reviews are not. It's a for-pay website.
Oh, never heard of that :)
So, this page then? :P https://f1000research.com/browse/f1000-faculty-reviews
Yes, this is the website I was referring to.
Yes, that is the website with reviews of articles that have been already published by someone else.
Maximilian Haeussler : The reviews site linked by @Wouter appears to be free. I randomly picked a couple and was able to see the full text PDF without having to log in or pay.
Note: These are review articles and not reviews about other articles.
Yes, but @Wouter linked to the open reviews of open access papers published in the F1000 journal. I was referring to the F1000 Faculty Reviews, website with reviews of articles published in any journal.
Can you include a direct link for the site you are referring to?
He already did that, just look a few lines above your own comment. Otherwise here: https://f1000research.com/browse/f1000-faculty-reviews
I think what is paid-for is F1000prime, but F1000research and f1000-faculty-reviews seems to be open.
Argh!! I was confused, sorry. Yes, I meant F1000prime. I wonder if many of their customers understand the difference between their products...
Yes, but @Wouter linked to the open reviews of open access papers published in the F1000 journal. I was referring to the F1000 Faculty Reviews website of articles published in other articles.
