Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #plos, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Another paper I came across this week in PLOS Computational Biology tackling a key open science issue in a practical way (journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol).

    Together with PLOS Biology's new code-sharing policy (journals.plos.org/plosbiology/), it really boosts my view of PLOS.

  6. I've joined the Editorial Board of @PLOSBiology

    As an Academic Editor, I encourage people to submit high quality cell biology manuscripts to us.

    PLOS Biology is the #PLOS flagship journal in the Life Sciences. It supports selective, equitable #OpenScience and reaching global audiences to help advance science faster.

  11. Update. In response to this problem (previous post, this thread), some publishers are desk-rejecting papers based on open health datasets. The problem is not the quality of the data, but the absence of additional work to validate findings.

    Two reports:

    1. "Journals and publishers crack down on research from open health data sets," Science, Oct 8, 2025.
    science.org/content/article/jo

    2. "AI: Journals are automatically rejecting public health dataset papers to combat paper mills," BMJ, Oct 15, 2025.

  23. Oh and has a template, which is a hard requirement for me. Journals not accepting LaTeX in physics fields is just silly. 's template is a bit funny though. No provided class, and you're supposed to submit it self-contained by manually pasting-in the auto-generated bibliography and included files, etc and weirdly excluding figures. I wrote a tool that does this automatically:

    pypi.org/project/latex-flatten/

  28. It seems the academic world thus seems (?) to see papers as "lesser quality", because also negative or non-results are allowed.

    I never was into any of these reading or citing metrics, is my top priority. I am funded by public money, so I'd find it unaccptable if my publications were paywalled. None of them have many reads or citations, though... Too niche a subject I guess. 🤷

    So I think we should publish good stuff to journals like and boost their reputation. 🚀

  33. The current academic publishing system is a terrible mess of quasi-monopolys, ridiculious publishing costs, 's suffering from pressure, godawful paywalls, unpaid reviewers, authors waiving rights on their own work, and more...

    being a nonprofit brings some fresh air into this: They have no interest in accepting only sensational results - just good old peer review.
