PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy and practice.
@oxforddemsci.bsky.socialReposted by @plos.orgLast week, we welcomed Joseph Pold from @plos.org for a seminar on navigating academic publishing.
Joe shared practical advice on open access, choosing journals, indexing, research impact, submission pitfalls and building a professional profile.

@plosone.orgReposted by @plos.orgIn a new @plos.org blog post for our 20th anniversary series, Senior Editor @joannatindall.bsky.social looks at research published in @plosone.org that explores the changes associated with the Anthropocene, from species distributions to regime shifts to direct risks for people.
@plos.orgTogether with The National Science Library (NSL) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) we're working to advance international collaboration in #OpenScience and foster a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable global research community. Learn more: plos.io/4jwxHbL
@plosone.orgReposted by @plos.orgFor #WorldHeartDay, these recent articles examine physical activity in individuals with cardiovascular disease, the link between blood pressure in pregnancy and cardiovascular health, and the use of smart watches to monitor heart rate.

@plos.orgIn #OpenScienceWeek, advocates come together to celebrate open science. As part of our Redefining Publishing report, we commissioned an economic analysis of its impact. The findings are clear: economic value is created when research outputs can be accessed and reused.
@plos.orgAs research output grows, so does the demand for peer review.
Can AI help? We explore both the potential and risks of using AI in peer review, and the importance of protecting quality and integrity: buff.ly/Itz4JvA
@plos.orgWe continue #OpenScienceWeek by highlighting the second output of our Redefining Publishing report on the future of the publishing business model. PLOS commits to develop a sustainable, non-APC model for research outputs and broaden participation in open science.

@plos.orgOpen peer review can mean different things, from publishing review reports to sharing reviewer identities or connecting review with preprints.
We explore different approaches to making peer review more transparent: buff.ly/6Vrxhfl
@plos.orgIn our Redefining Publishing report, we propose a new integrated publishing solution called the knowledge stack.
The goal is to ensure research outputs, including data & code, are recognized alongside traditional articles.

@plos.orgIt’s #OpenScienceWeek! At PLOS we believe in a future where science is open to all, for all. But how do we actually reach that future?
Read our report, Redefining Publishing, to see how we are committed to drive change in open science: buff.ly/hN8ycqN
@plos.orgWhat makes a good peer review? Clear, specific and constructive feedback can help authors strengthen their work. We have resources to help reviewers approach their review with confidence.
