PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

PLOS BLOGS Speaking of Medicine and Health

Thanks to our peer reviewers in 2013!

As 2014 begins we’d like to thank those who made it possible for the PLOS Medicine Group journals to serve the scientific community and the public in 2013, in particular our dedicated and insightful peer reviewers.  During last year, 663 people reviewed for PLOS Medicine, 2205 for PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, and 3008 for PLOS Pathogens. These generous individuals donated their time to ensuring the level of constructive evaluation that researchers rightly expect of peer-reviewed journals. Their combined efforts enabled the PLOS medical journals (PLOS Medicine, PLOS NTDs and PLOS Pathogens) to publish an outstanding array of papers in 2013, gathering 4107155 online views and 501871 PDF downloads so far!

Thank you, our reviewers, for contributing your knowledge to the Open Access literature. Your critical insight, support, and hard work are indispensable both to our day-to-day operations and to our overall mission.
