PLOS ONE 10 Year Anniversary Collection: The Must Downloads

Curated Collections

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.
