NIHR Open Research provides all NIHR-funded researchers with a place to publish any results they think are worth sharing. Submissions to NIHR 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 as quickly as possible. Expert reviewers are then selected and invited, and their reports and names are published alongside the article, post-publication. Articles that pass our peer review process are indexed in major databases like PubMed and Scopus.
