Public Library of Science (PLoS)
Public Library of Science (PLoS)
Yale University is now an institutional member of the Public Library of Science (PLoS),
http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org/. PLoS is a non-profit organization committed to making the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource. PLoS journals are supported with a combination of grant funding, publication fees, and institutional memberships. The pricing model allows PLoS articles to be freely available at time of publication. All articles are immediately archived with the National Library of Medicine as part of PubMed Central.
As an institutional member, Yale authors can publish at a 50% discount ($750) on the $1,500 publication fee. Kline Science and
Cushing/Whitney Medical Libraries jointly purchased an institutional membership for Yale University. Our membership is part of ongoing efforts to promote open access to scientific research and new pricing models for scholarly publishing.
The Public Library of Science journals are:
PLoS Biology, http://www.plosbiology.org
PLoS Medicine, http://www.plosmedicine.org
