1.7: Blogs & Hubs

Other Information:

Blogs and Hubs - The most recent innovations at PLOS were launched in Fall 2010. PLOS launched a new Blog network for discussing science and medicine in public, covering topics in research, culture, and publishing. The PLOS Blogs network is different from other blogging networks, because it includes a mix of science journalists (including a Pulitzer Prize winner) and researchers. We also launched PLOS Hubs: Biodiversity to show how open-access literature can be reused and reorganized, filtered, and assessed to enable the exchange of research, opinion, and data between community members. This website aggregates content from a wide range of publishers, and expert Curators select the articles. Some of this content is then enriched with additional publicly available information, such as a taxonomy hierarchy, species images and descriptions, and interactive maps showing the origins of museum species.
