As a Gates-funded researcher, I want to publish my work on Gates Open Research. Please outline the submission process, including the role of VeriXiv, list at least three distinct article types accepted, and detail the general requirements for manuscript submission, such as file formats and author eligibility. Where can I find the most comprehensive author guidelines?
Navigate to 'gatesopenresearch.org'. Click on the 'How to Publish' dropdown in the main navigation (ID 72). Click on the 'Article Guidelines' link (ID 79). Identify and list at least three distinct article types accepted for publication. Locate and describe the general requirements for submitting a manuscript, including author eligibility and file formats. Explain the role of VeriXiv in the submission and peer review process. Identify the specific links or sections on the page that provide the most comprehensive author guidelines. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Article Guidelines' page. At least three article types (e.g., Research Articles, Method Articles, Study Protocols, Systematic Reviews, Software Tool Articles) are listed. The answer states that submissions are for Gates-funded researchers, with at least one author being a current or past grant recipient. The answer specifies that manuscripts can be submitted as Word (DOC or DOCX) or rich text format (RTF) files. The answer clearly explains that articles submitted after August 2024 will first be published on VeriXiv and undergo peer review there before being published on Gates Open Research. The answer identifies the 'Article Guidelines' page as the central location for information, and specifically mentions reviewing the 'publishing model' and 'policies' links for comprehensive guidelines.
