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 Biology 20th Anniversary

Curated Collections

As PLOS Biology turns 20 years old, we are celebrating two decades of publishing high-impact life sciences research at the forefront of open science. This collection contains articles that look back at landmark PLOS Biology studies and how they have influenced their respective fields, and others that look at how far given fields have come in the past 20 years and where they are going, and others that discuss how publishing and open science have evolved in the past 20 years and what is to come. We will continue to update this collection with content throughout 2023.
