PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

PLOS iGEM 2017

Partnered Collections, Special Issues

The iGEM Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of synthetic biology through the development of open community and collaboration. These aims are shared by PLOS, whose mission is to advance scientific communication and peer review through increased openness and sharing. In the third year of our project with iGEM, PLOS held our second Realtime Peer Review Jamboree, where teams were encouraged to review each other’s work in real time along with experts and PLOS staff editors. The teams then revised their work in line with the live peer review event comments and posted them to bioRxiv. Some teams are working towards a full submission to PLOS ONE. All teams would welcome feedback on their papers on bioRxiv.
