| Desc | SCIENCE AND MEDICAL PUBLISHING ARE THE CORE OF PLOS PROGRAM EXPENSE AT OVER $30 MILLION. THE SCOPE OF PLOS JOURNALS 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.(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O). 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 2018 PLOS CONTINUED ITS FOCUS ON EASING AND MODERNIZING PROCESSES FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF CONTRIBUTORS TO MORE QUICKLY BRING WORK TO THE PUBLIC; EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR AUTHORS AND READERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE; AND UPDATING POLICIES AND PRACTICES TO IMPROVE RECOGNITION, CREDIT AND REPRODUCIBILITY. THE FOLLOWING ARE KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR WORK IN 2018: PLOS CONTINUED ITS STRONG SUPPORT FOR INCREASED TRANSPARENCY BY ESTABLISHING POLICIES TO GIVE CREDIT FOR EACH AUTHOR'S ROLE IN THE RESEARCH PROCESS. A MORE SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF AUTHOR CONTRIBUTIONS IS A PREREQUISITE TO PROVIDING DUE CREDIT FOR ROLES THAT ARE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE RESEARCH ENTERPRISE, ESPECIALLY THOSE ROLES THAT ARE TOO OFTEN IGNORED OR DEVALUED. PLOS JOURNALS HAVE ADOPTED BOTH ORCID AND CREDIT SINCE 2016, WHICH HELP FACILITATE BEST PRACTICES FOR AUTHOR CREDIT. TO EXPEDITE DISCOVERY AND ACCESS TO PLOS RESEARCH ARTICLES, WE WORKED WITH GOOGLE SCHOLAR TO INCLUDE PLOS ABSTRACTS IN THEIR NEW QUICK ABSTRACTS FEATURE. RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD CAN NOW VIEW COMPLETE ABSTRACTS AND EXPLORE CITATIONS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY FROM ANY MOBILE DEVICE. FOR SCIENTISTS, EDUCATORS, POLICY MAKERS AND JOURNALISTS, THIS MEANS MORE EFFICIENT AND TIMELY ACCESS TO THE ACADEMIC LITERATURE. PLOS ENABLED AUTHORS TO HAVE A CHOICE OF POSTING THEIR SUBMITTED MANUSCRIPT ON THE BIORXIV PREPRINT SERVER THANKS TO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH BIORXIV. PREPRINTS ENABLE AUTHORS TO ACCELERATE THE DISSEMINATION OF THEIR WORK AND INVITE COMMENTARY BY A BROADER COMMUNITY, WHICH PLOS EDITORS WILL EVALUATE AS PART OF PEER REVIEW. PLOS BEGAN ITS WORK TO HELP PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR MINIMAL REPORTING STANDARDS IN THE LIFE SCIENCES. TRANSPARENCY IN REPORTING BENEFITS SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION ON MANY LEVELS. WHILE SPECIFIC NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS VARY ACROSS FIELDS, THE EFFECTIVE USE OF RESEARCH FINDINGS RELIES ON THE AVAILABILITY OF CORE INFORMATION ABOUT RESEARCH MATERIALS, DATA, AND ANALYSIS. THESE ARE THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES THAT LED TO THE DESIGN OF THE TOP GUIDELINES, WHICH OUTLINE A FRAMEWORK THAT OVER 1,000 JOURNALS AND PUBLISHERS HAVE ELECTED TO FOLLOW. WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARDS A NETWORKED ECOSYSTEM WITH MORE THAN 170,000 AUTHENTICATED ORCID USERS IN OUR SYSTEM. ORCID ENABLES CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PUBLICATIONS, GRANTS AND RESEARCHERS, AND PROVIDES ACCURATE RECOGNITION, APPROPRIATE CREDIT AND EASIER DISCOVERY OF AUTHORS' WORK BY POTENTIAL COLLABORATORS, FUNDERS AND EMPLOYERS. WE ADDED A NEW EBOLA OUTBREAK CHANNEL IN RESPONSE TO AN OUTBREAK IN CONGO. CHANNELS FOSTER DISCOVERY, EXPLORATION AND CONTEXTUAL INSIGHTS BY COMBINING CURATED, QUALITY RESEARCH; FACTUAL NEWS FROM RELIABLE WEB SOURCES; AND EXPERT COMMENTARY. WE CONTINUED OUR PUBLICATION FEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, DESIGNED TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY, ACCESS AND USE OF RESEARCH. IN 2018 PLOS PROVIDED $1.9 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 |
