In the News

Today we learned that by the end of this week PLoS ONE (in keeping with all other PLoS journals) will be indexed by the Web of Science – this is an important literature discovery tool that many people use and so we are pleased to be indexed. PLoS ONE is also indexed by a host of other services such as PubMed, MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), EMBASE, AGRICOLA, PsycINFO, Zoological Records, FSTA (Food Science and Technology Abstracts), GeoRef, and RefAware.

From September 14-16, 2009, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) held its inaugural conference in Lund, Sweden. The talks from the meeting are now available online.

A recent study in PLoS Computational Biology has been milking the presses this week...

On August 21st, Matthew Rogers and colleagues published an article in PLoS Pathogens which shows that the parasite Leishmania tricks host immune defense cells into feeding it rather than killing it. This development may help in the search for an effective vaccine against leishmaniasis, a painful, disfiguring, potentially fatal disease that afflicts approximately 12 million people worldwide.

As an official journal of the International Society for Computational Biology, PLoS Computational Biology is once again delighted to be participating in the ISMB/ECCB conference for 2009, this year held in Stockholm, Sweden, June 27^th – July 2^nd, where you’ll find us at Booth 12 in the exhibition hall.
