Abstract

Ramy Aziz talks about the Public Library of Science (PLoS), a nonprofit organization of scientists & physicians committed to making the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource. He mentions some of PLoS Core Principles which are: 1) Open access: all material published by the Public Library of Science, whether submitted to or created by PLoS, is published under an open access license that allows unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. 2) Excellence: PLoS strives to set the highest standards for excellence in everything we do: in content, style, and aesthetics of presentation in editorial performance at every level in transparency and accessibility to the scientific community and public.
