Nonprofit open-access publisher
PLOS (for Public Library of Science ) is a nonprofit open-access science, technology and medicine publisher with a library of open-access journals and other scientific literature under an open-content license. It launched its first journal, PLOS Biology [update] [1] [2] San Francisco , California , and has a European editorial office in Cambridge , Great Britain . The publications are primarily funded by payments from the authors.
History
The Open Access logo The first video published alongside a PLOS article: a model of how the human transferrin receptor assists transferrin in releasing iron[3]
The Public Library of Science began in 2000 with an online petition initiative by Nobel Prize winner Harold Varmus , formerly director of the National Institutes of Health and at that time director of Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center ; Patrick O. Brown , a biochemist at Stanford University ; and Michael Eisen , a computational biologist at the University of California, Berkeley , and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory .[4] [5] [6] Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation awarded PLOS a $9 million grant, which it followed in May 2006 with a $1 million grant to help PLOS achieve financial sustainability and launch new free-access biomedical journals.[7]
The PLOS organizers turned their attention to starting their own journal, along the lines of the UK BioMed Central , which has been publishing open-access scientific articles in the biological sciences in journals such as Genome Biology since 2000.
As a publishing company, the Public Library of Science officially launched its operation on 13 October 2003, with the publication of a print and online scientific journal entitled PLOS Biology PLOS Clinical Trials , has since been merged into PLOS ONE
The PLOS journals are what is described as "open-access content"; all content is published under the Creative Commons "attribution" license . The project states (quoting the Budapest Open Access Initiative ) that: "The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."
In 2011, the Public Library of Science became an official financial supporting organization of Healthcare Information For All by 2015 ,[8] [9]
In 2012 the organization quit using the stylization "PLoS" to identify itself and began using only "PLOS".[10]
In 2016, PLOS confirmed that their chief executive officer Elizabeth Marincola would be leaving for personal and professional reasons at the end of that year.[11] [12]
Financial model
To fund the journals, PLOS charges an article processing charge (APC) to be paid by the author or the author's employer or funder. In the United States, institutions such as the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have pledged that recipients of their grants will be allocated funds to cover such author charges. The Global Participation Initiative (GPI) was instituted in 2012, by which authors in "group-one countries" are not charged a fee, and those in group-two countries are given a fee reduction. (In all cases, decisions to publish are based solely on editorial criteria.)
PLOS was launched with grants totaling US$13 million from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Sandler Family Supporting Foundation .[13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
Publications
Other partners
In April 2017, PLOS was one of the founding partners in the Initiative for Open Citations .[18]
Headquarters
PLOS has its main headquarters in Suite 225 in the Koshland East Building in Levi's Plaza in San Francisco .[19] [20] [21]
