PLOS ONE 10 Year Anniversary: Interdisciplinary Research

Published May 22, 2017 Curated Collections

Since its inception, PLOS ONE’s broad and inclusive scope has offered an Open Access publishing platform for research that bridges multiple disciplines within the physical, chemical, life, and social sciences, as well as studies in which the sciences intersect with the arts and humanities. In the Interdisciplinary Research Collection, PLOS ONE Senior Editor Renee Hoch showcases a selection of articles that illustrates how innovative research spanning disciplines has contributed to scientific progress over the past decade.
