This is SO cool!

Faculty of 1000 is the next generation literature awareness tool. It is a revolutionary new online research service that will comprehensively and systematically highlight and review the most interesting papers published in the biological sciences, based on the recommendations of a faculty of well over 1000 selected leading researchers.

Faculty of 1000 will be run by scientists for scientists, and will provide a rapidly updated consensus map of the important papers and trends across biology.

Faculty of 1000:

Provides scientists with a continuously updated insider's guide to the most important papers within any given field of research
Highlights papers on the basis of their scientific merit rather than the journal in which they appear
Offers the researcher a consensus of recommendations from well over 1000 leading scientists
Systematically organizes and evaluates the mass of information within scientific literature
Offers an immediate rating of individual papers by the authors' peers, and an important complement to the indirect assessment provided by the journal impact factor.

Unfortunately it requires an institutional subscription.. so all go tell your librarian! http://www.facultyof1000.com/guide/#librarian
