| Desc | SCIENCE AND MEDICAL PUBLISHING ARE THE CORE OF PLOS PROGRAM EXPENSE AT OVER $30 MILLION. THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN OUR PUBLISHING OPERATION INCLUDE:- EDITORIAL AND PRODUCTION WORK - RECEIPT AND TRIAGE OF SUBMISSIONS; PERFORMING/COORDINATING THEIR PEER REVIEW; AND PRODUCTION AND ONLINE PUBLICATION OF ACCEPTED ARTICLES. - MARKETING AND OUTREACH - PROMOTING ARTICLES, INVITING SUBMISSIONS, PROMOTING INITIATIVES SUCH AS CALLS FOR PAPERS, AND CREATING RESOURCES FOR AUTHORS AND REVIEWERS.- PUBLISHING ETHICS - HANDLING ETHICAL AND SCIENTIFIC CONCERNS INVOLVING SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLISHED ARTICLES.- ENGAGEMENT WITH RESEARCH COMMUNITIES (E.G. BY ATTENDING/ORGANIZING CONFERENCES/EVENTS/WORKSHOPS) - TO ENSURE THE JOURNALS AND THEIR POLICIES REFLECT THE RESEARCH INTERESTS AND VALUES OF THESE FIELDS AND COMMUNITIES.MEDIA - COLLABORATING WITH AUTHORS, INSTITUTIONS, SCIENCE MEDIA CENTERS AND JOURNALISTS TO COMMUNICATE RESEARCH TO BOTH SCIENTISTS AND SOCIETY. THE SCOPE OF PLOS JOURNALS PUBLISHING IN 2020 INCLUDES:- PLOS ONE, THE FIRST MULTIDISCIPLINARY OA JOURNAL PUBLISHING ALL TECHNICALLY VALID AND ETHICAL RESEARCH, REGARDLESS OF ANTICIPATED IMPACT.- PLOS BIOLOGY, PUBLISHING ARTICLES OF EXCEPTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE, ORIGINALITY AND RELEVANCE IN ALL AREAS OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE, FROM MOLECULES TO ECOSYSTEMS TO DATA-DRIVEN META-RESEARCH.- PLOS MEDICINE, WITH ARTICLES IN ALL AREAS OF MEDICAL SCIENCE, CLINICAL PRACTICE AND HEALTH POLICY INCLUDING A VARIETY OF STUDY DESIGNS.- PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, PUBLISHING WORK THAT FURTHERS THE UNDERSTANDING OF LIVING SYSTEMS AT ALL SCALES THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS.- PLOS GENETICS, FOCUSED ON ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN GENETICS AND GENOMICS THAT REFLECT THE FULL BREADTH, INTERDISCIPLINARY NATURE AND IMPACT OF THESE FIELDS ON SCIENCE AND MEDICINE.- PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES, THE FIRST JOURNAL SOLELY DEVOTED TO CHRONIC AND POVERTY-PROMOTING INFECTIOUS DISEASES, PUBLISHES RESEARCH ON ALL ASPECTS OF NTDS. - PLOS PATHOGENS, FIRST OA JOURNAL FOR BREAKTHROUGHS IN UNDERSTANDING PATHOGENS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH HOST ORGANISMS. IN ADDITION TO MANAGING THE ABOVE PORTFOLIO OF JOURNALS, IN 2020 PLOS CONTINUED ITS FOCUS ON TWO BROAD AREAS: (1) OPEN SCIENCE PRACTICES AND INITIATIVES AROUND TRANSPARENCY, RECOGNITION, EXPANDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEER REVIEW, FIGHTING PUBLICATION BIAS, AND REPRODUCIBILITY; AND (2) DEVELOPING MORE EQUITABLE BUSINESS MODELS TO ENABLE A DIVERSE AND SUSTAINABLE PUBLISHING ECOSYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING ARE KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR WORK IN 2020:- PLOS INTRODUCED A NEW LOGO AND VISUAL BRAND UPDATES TO REFLECT THE VIBRANCY OF OUR MISSION OUR RESEARCH COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUR DIGITAL PROGRAM.- PLOS PARTNERED WITH INSTITUTIONS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT TWO NEW OPEN ACCESS BUSINESS MODELS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE AUTHOR PUBLICATION FEES. COMMUNITY ACTION PUBLISHING, AVAILABLE FOR PLOS BIOLOGY AND PLOS MEDICINE AIMS TO MAKE HIGHLY-SELECTIVE OA PUBLISHING MORE AFFORDABLE BY DISTRIBUTING COSTS ACROSS THE INSTITUTIONS IN THE JOURNAL COMMUNITY. FLAT FEES STREAMLINE AND SIMPLIFY INSTITUTIONAL APC SUPPORT FOR AUTHORS PUBLISHING IN ANY OF THE OTHER FIVE PLOS JOURNALS.- PLOS ALSO PARTNERED WITH LIBLYNX TO DEVELOP ANALYTICS THAT BETTER REFLECT THE IMPACT AND USAGE OF OPEN ACCESS CONTENT FOR A RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS, FUNDERS, AND AUTHORS WHOSE SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW OA PUBLISHING MODELS.- PLOS PARTICIPATED IN THE PLAN S PRICE & SERVICE TRANSPARENCY FRAMEWORK, PUBLICLY REPORTING OUR PRICING BREAKDOWN ON OUR BLOG.- ALL PLOS JOURNALS IMPLEMENTED A NEW POLICY HONORING REQUESTS FROM TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY AUTHORS TO UPDATE THEIR NAMES ON PUBLISHED PAPERS AND CORRESPONDING INDEXING METADATA. - PLOS ADDED NEW ARTICLE TYPES TO INCREASE THE TRANSPARENCY OF RESEARCH REPORTING THROUGHOUT THE RESEARCH PROCESS. REGISTERED REPORTS AT PLOS ONE AND PREREGISTERED RESEARCH ARTICLES AT PLOS BIOLOGY ENABLE RESEARCHERS TO REPORT AND RECEIVE PEER REVIEW FEEDBACK ON THEIR STUDY DESIGNS BEFORE CARRYING OUT EXPERIMENTS, WITH THE OPTION TO PUBLISH FULL RESULTS IN THE JOURNAL WHEN THEIR WORK IS COMPLETE. UPDATE ARTICLES AND DISCOVERY REPORTS AT PLOS BIOLOGY OFFER ADDITIONAL PUBLISHING OPTIONS FOR RESEARCHERS TO SHARE IMPORTANT FINDINGS AS THEIR WORK PROGRESSES. - PLOS EXPANDED ITS COMPLEMENTARY RESEARCH POLICY (INITIALLY INTRODUCED AT PLOS BIOLOGY) ACROSS ALL JOURNALS THAT ARE SELECTIVE FOR NOVELTY. THE POLICY WAIVES NOVELTY CRITERIA FOR WORK SUBMITTED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF A SIMILAR STUDY HAVING BEEN PUBLISHED, GIVING AUTHORS WHO HAVE BEEN "SCOOPED" TIME TO RIGOROUSLY COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THEIR WORK WITHOUT BEING PENALIZED. - DUE TO THE EMERGENCE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, PLOS DEDICATED RESOURCES TO UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECTS OF LARGE-SCALE DISRUPTIONS TO RESEARCHERS' WORK AND LEARNING HOW WE COULD BETTER-SUPPORT THEIR CHANGING NEEDS. WE JOINED OTHER PUBLISHERS IN COMMITTING TO RAPID REVIEW AND SHARING OF COVID-19 RESEARCH IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE PROGRESS AND FACILITATE OPEN-SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE.- PLOS CONTINUED OUR PUBLICATION FEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, DESIGNED TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY, ACCESS AND USE OF RESEARCH. IN 2020 PLOS PROVIDED $1.7 MILLION IN PARTIAL OR FULL ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE (APC) WAIVERS TO AUTHORS. THIS MAJOR PROGRAM EXPENSE, WHICH APPEARS AS A CONTRA-REVENUE FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES, DEMONSTRATES OUR SUPPORT TO SCIENCE AND THE GLOBAL RESEARCH COMMUNITY | Desc |

WE HAVE BEEN BREAKING BOUNDARIES SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2001. PLOS JOURNALS PROPELLED THE MOVEMENT FOR OA ALTERNATIVES TO SUBSCRIPTION JOURNALS. WE ESTABLISHED THE FIRST MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PUBLICATION INCLUSIVE OF ALL EXCELLENT RESEARCH REGARDLESS OF NOVELTY OR IMPACT AND DEMONSTRATED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN DATA AVAILABILITY.

OUR WORK IN THESE AREAS IS SUPPORTED BY THE EFFORTS OF A DIVERSE, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS FROM HUNDREDS OF RESEARCH AREAS WHO PUBLISH AND REVIEW RIGOROUS RESEARCH OF ALL TYPES. SINCE 2003, PLOS HAS PUBLISHED MORE THAN 260,000 RESEARCH ARTICLES.
