What is the Public Library of Science?

Page 4: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

A non-profit organization of scientists committed to making

the world’s scientific and medical literature a public resource.

Page 5: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

How?

Page 6: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

By promoting open-access publishing,

Page 7: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

By promoting open-access publishing, generating tools for mining scientific texts and data,

Page 8: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

By promoting open-access publishing, generating tools for mining scientific texts and data, and making the literature comprehensible to non-specialists.

Why is open access important?

Page 10: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

For authors to reach the largest possible audience.

Page 11: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

For readers to have access to the entire literature in a given field—all in one information space.

Page 12: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

For downloading, printing, copying, and archiving articles.

Page 13: “If I could do it over again, I’d publish that paper in PLoS Biology.” James Watson 50 th anniversary of the publication of DNA structure Eagle Pub, Cambridge,

For full-text searching and mining beyond boolean text searches.

It doesn’t have to be that way.
