More About PLoS
PLoS is leading a global revolution to make the results of scientific research accessible to everyone. Organized in 2001 as an Open Access advocacy organization and incorporated and launched in 2003, PLoS is a nonprofit organization committed to making the world’s scientific and medical literature a freely-available public resource. PLoS is dedicated to one simple proposition: The international research community, and the public it serves, has a compelling interest in unfettered access to new discoveries in science and medicine. For citizens, this means the fundamental right to view the research that, in many cases, they themselves have already paid for.
PLoS is led by Dr. Harold Varmus and is comprised of top thought leaders and global authorship and readership that ensure global representation. In its short time, PLoS has made a worldwide impact, influencing public policy in the US, Europe and Japan. With your help, PLoS continues to work tirelessly to promote unrestricted access to some of the world’s best research information, thereby accelerating science. Your support of PLoS will help in this time of transition from traditional to Open Access publishing. Your investment will ensure that PLoS can continue its innovation in publishing technologies, and to help increase awareness of, and commitment to, the Open Access movement.
At a moment when science offers our best hope for solving our most challenging problems – from environmental destruction to pandemic disease – PLoS is uniquely qualified to sustain a public domain for scientific knowledge and to leverage technology to ensure that knowledge is put to the greatest possible use.
The Public Library of Science is a tax-exempt, 501(c)3, not-for-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California.
