Top 10s are generated every day using only papers added to F1000 Biology over the preceding month. Papers are ranked according to their F1000 Factor which incorporates both the number of times a paper has been evaluated, and the ratings it received. If any papers have an equal F1000 Factor then the most recently added paper is listed first.
