Many new articles published this week, with our monthly editorial and a policy forum, followed by a sponsored collection:

The PLoS Medicine Editors and partners from the Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF) at the Harvard School of Public Health announce their partnership and a call for papers on “quality of maternal health care.”

Christian Lienhardt and colleagues describe the development of the TB Research Movement, which aims to create a framework for concrete actions to harmonize and synergize TB research efforts globally.

This sponsored Collection of nine articles comprises four reviews and five research articles that together show scale-up of Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision to be a cost-effective HIV prevention measure in eastern and southern Africa. The Collection is produced with support from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The PLoS Medicine editors have sole editorial responsibility for the content of this Collection. The views expressed in this collection are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the U.S. Government and UNAIDS.

Remember you can comment on, annotate and rate any PLoS Medicine article and see the views, citations and other indications of impact of an article on that articles metrics tab.
