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.

Research Analysis & Policy

PLOS Biology and PLOS ONE
Meta-research Collection

Curated Collections

This Collection highlights some of PLOS Biology’s Meta-Research articles since 2016 as well as some of PLOS ONE’s articles over the past few years, all about “research on research,” or the science of science. It combines sociological, bibliometric, and more theoretical approaches to the study of science, from the structure of rewards and incentives in research to gendered dynamics, or the impact of journal policies on reproducibility.

Feature your research in this Collection by submitting to PLOS Biology or PLOS ONE.
