Publishing Tufts-Laidlaw Scholar Research
Taylor & Francis / F1000 Research Publication Opportunity
Laidlaw has a partnership with Taylor & Francis through which a select group of Scholars have the opportunity to publish their work through the Laidlaw Scholars Gateway on F1000Research. This can be a valuable option for some Scholars whose summer research is well suited for publication.
As with any research collaboration, decisions about whether to pursue publication should be made thoughtfully by the faculty mentor and Scholar together. In some cases, the Taylor & Francis / F1000Research Laidlaw Scholars Gateway may be an appropriate venue; in other cases, a discipline-specific journal or other venue may be a better fit.
F1000Research provides the specific Laidlaw Scholars publication pathway, while Taylor & Francis offers broader author guidance on writing and preparing research papers, including resources on accessibility, clarity, structure, and audience reach. These resources may be helpful as Scholars prepare posters, papers, Laidlaw Scholars Network posts, or possible publication submissions.
