PLOS aims to be truly international by removing unnecessary barriers to the immediate availability, access and use of its published research; and by engaging a geographically diverse group of researchers and medical practitioners in the editorial process. PLOS’ International Advisory Group is a group of eminent individuals from around the world whose aim is to ensure that we address issues that will encourage this global participation.
