PLOS ONE 10 Year Anniversary Collection: The Must Downloads

Published October 24, 2017 Curated Collections

In the first decade of PLOS ONE, article-level metrics gained increasing traction in the community as a better way to estimate the impact of a scientific publication. In this collection and accompanying EveryONE blog, Associate Editor Jenna Quinto highlights PLOS ONE articles from each year that were downloaded at exceptional rates when compared to their total views. This metric—the downloads-to-views ratio—suggests a high degree of engagement by the scientific community.
