[F1000: a new medical literature evaluation and retrieval system]

This article introduced a new clinical research evaluating system, Faculty of 1000 Medicine (F1000M), in which articles are selected, rated, and evaluated by its faculty of over 10 000 expert scientists and clinical researchers engaging in more than 3 000 peer-reviewed journals. It is a kind of post-publication peer review. A few evaluated articles about Chinese medicine were selected and introduced. It is hoped that F1000 could inspire both traditional Chinese medicine researchers and Western medicine researchers to conduct good quality research and write good clinical research reports.
