Publish a journal for the whole of science.

Other Information:

The Journal for the Whole of Science - While PLOS Biology, PLOS Medicine, and the PLOS community journals were enough to secure the organization’s position as a top-tier publisher, PLOS pushed the OA envelope yet again in 2006 with the debut of PLOS ONE. All research articles are evaluated through peer review and must be judged to be rigorous, ethical, and properly reported. After publication, the broader research community can use interactive tools, for example article-level metrics, to determine the importance, or impact, of each article. The PLOS ONE approach to publishing has the potential to make research communication much more rapid, open, and efficient, accelerating the pace of discovery.
