PLoS Enlivening Scientific Culture

PLoS (Public Library of Science) is committed to making scientific and medical literature available to all. Open access, immediate online access, unrestricted distribution, and re-use are some of the key features. PLoS offers a platform for validation, selection, and status of scientific research, with a streamlined production process and an inclusive scope. The platform also encourages discussion, debate, and community engagement through comments, referee's reports, academic editors, and formal and informal discussions.
