Benefits of publishing with PLOS
When you choose to publish your work with PLOS you’re pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery and contributing to a repository of trusted Open Science that can build a framework for equitable participation and distribution of knowledge. Openness is much more than being able to read or share an article; it’s the future of science.
We are continuously expanding our Open Science options to support you and your work. Right now, you can choose to distribute your initial research in a preprint, gain recognition with preregistration, share context with published peer review history and more!
By joining fellow researchers and PLOS in committing to Open Science, you’ll discover the resources to improve reproducibility and the tools to make science better.
Join us as we continue to advance Open Science for researchers and readers
