- QUOTE: PLOS was founded as a nonprofit Open Access publisher, innovator and advocacy organization with a mission to advance progress in science and medicine by leading a transformation in research communication. We believe that OPEN is a mindset that represents the best scientific values, bringing scientists together to share work as rapidly and widely as possible, to advance science faster and to benefit society as a whole.
  Since launching our first OA journal in 2003 to being the first publisher to formally offer cross-linking between our published articles and its posted preprint, PLOS has been a force for transformation in scholarly publishing. We proved the viability of Open Access, redefined publishing with PLOS ONE, the world's largest multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, and developed the first suite of Article-Level Metrics. 15 years later, our key innovations continue to accelerate science and medicine ... and we're only getting started.
