We've had a reprint service for a while but to use it, folks had to add all the article information to the order themselves which made it time consuming and difficult to use. Now, we're proud to introduce EzReprint, the next generation of print on demand, designed for people who want to generate 25 or more high quality reprints of most of our articles.

Today, PLoS is delighted to publish a Collection of articles [4] highlighting biologging research from the Tagging of Pacific Predators group (TOPP), a Census of Marine Life (COML) project.

Earlier this year, PLoS sent out a series of surveys to authors whose work was considered by our journals in 2008. We wanted to find out what authors think about all aspects of our services – from submission and peer review, through to publication and the functionality of the PLoS journal web sites.

Throughout the course of 2009, PLoS has been adding a range of Metrics to each and every article that it has published. In addition to the many metrics already displayed (article pageviews and downloads, citations, social bookmarks, notes, comments and ratings), we are pleased to now add data relating to the blog coverage of any article, as measured by ResearchBlogging.org [14]. You can find out more about the Article Level Metrics program here [15].

If you are attending the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB [18]) PLoS Computational Biology invites you to send us a postcard! PLoS Conference Postcards represent a novel way to report important innovations and current research efforts presented at a scientific conference as told by upcoming members of the scientific community. Your “postcard” will focus on one of the highlights of PSB – a keynote, paper presentation, poster session, software demonstration, or tutorial. All Postcards will be considered by the Editors and those selected will be published in PLoS Computational Biology as part of an article summarizing the conference.
