PLOS ONE

PLOS ONE is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes research across a wide range of disciplines, emphasizing the importance of open access. Founded by the Public Library of Science in 2006, it allows researchers to share their findings without the barriers of traditional subscription fees. By focusing on the rigor and transparency of the research rather than its perceived impact, PLOS ONE aims to make scientific knowledge widely available and encourage collaboration among scientists. This model promotes the democratization of science, allowing anyone to read and learn from the latest research.
