IRS990/Description0SCIENCE AND MEDICAL PUBLISHING REMAINS THE CORE OF PLOS PROGRAM EXPENSE AT $22 MILLION. THE SEVEN PLOS JOURNALS ARE OPEN ACCESS AND EACH OF THEM IS RIGOROUSLY PEER-REVIEWED. PLOS BIOLOGY IS THE FIRST JOURNAL PUBLISHED BY PLOS AND COVERS ALL ASPECTS OF BIOLOGY. PLOS MEDICINE IS THE LEADING OPEN ACCESS MEDICAL JOURNAL, PROVIDING AN INNOVATIVE AND INFLUENTIAL VENUE FOR PRIMARY RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS ON THE MAJOR CHALLENGES TO HUMAN HEALTH WORLDWIDE. PLOS ONE HAS BECOME THE WORLD'S LARGEST PEER-REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL, KNOWN FOR PIONEERING THE REPLACEMENT OF SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION MEASURES WITH OBJECTIVE EVALUATION CRITERIA FOCUSING ON TECHNICAL QUALITY, PUBLISHES PRIMARY RESEARCH FROM OVER 50 SCIENCE AND BIOMEDICAL DISCIPLINES. PLOS GENETICS PUBLISHES NEW RESEARCH IN GENETIC AND GENOMIC BIOLOGY. PLOS PATHOGENS PUBLISHES ORIGINAL RESEARCH AND A VARIETY OF FRONT MATTER ON THE BIOLOGY OF PATHOGENS AND HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS. PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES IS DEVOTED TO THE STUDY OF HELMINTH, BACTERIAL, VIRAL, PROTOZOAN, AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS ENDEMIC TO TROPICAL REGIONS. PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY IS A SOCIETY JOURNAL, ALIGNED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY (ISCB), THAT PUBLISHES NEW RESEARCH IN ALL AREAS OF BIOLOGY USING COMPUTATIONAL METHODS.PLOS CONTINUES ITS EFFORTS TO DRIVE TOWARDS OPENNESS IN DATA USE AND RE-USE. OUR AIM IS FOR ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE DATA (TO REPEAT AUTHORS' RESULTS) AND REUSE DATA (TO BUILD ON THE AUTHORS' FINDINGS). IN PURSUIT OF THIS GOAL, WE ARE EXPANDING OUR PILOT PROGRAM WITH DRYAD. DRYAD HELPS OUR AUTHORS MAKE THEIR DATA RE-USEABLE AND ACCESSIBLE BY PROVIDING A PERMANENT OPEN ACCESS REPOSITORY AND ASSIGNING UNIQUE "DIGITAL OBJECT IDENTIFIERS" (DOIS) FOR EACH DATA "PACKAGE", COMPRISING ALL THE DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE PUBLISHED ARTICLE. TWO OF OUR JOURNALS, PLOS BIOLOGY AND PLOS GENETICS, CAN NOW USE THE DRYAD REPOSITORY TO HOST DATA WHILE ARTICLES ARE UNDER REVIEW, PROVIDING CONFIDENTIAL ACCESS TO THE UNDERLYING DATA FOR EDITORS AND PEER-REVIEWERS. MEANWHILE, WE ARE WORKING TO EVOLVE THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE ITSELF INTO A MORE DYNAMIC, LIVING FORM OF COMMUNICATION. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH FIGSHARE TO MAKE THE DATA PUBLISHED IN OUR ARTICLES MORE ACCESSIBLE AND DISCOVERABLE. OUR FIGSHARE WIDGET DISPLAYS THE CONTENTS OF SUPPORTING INFORMATION FILES WITHIN THE ARTICLE, REGARDLESS OF FILE TYPE (WHETHER DATASET, TEXT, DOCUMENTS, ANIMATED, VIDEO, OR PRESENTATION FILES). THIS ALLOWS USERS TO SEARCH, MAGNIFY AND DOWNLOAD THE MATERIAL IN WAYS NOT PREVIOUSLY SUPPORTED. THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE COINCIDED WITH A FULL RE-DESIGN OF THE PLOS JOURNAL WEBSITES. THIS PROJECT HAD THREE PRIMARY GOALS: TO ENSURE READERS CAN QUICKLY ASSESS THE RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE OF AN ARTICLE; TO IMPROVE SITE NAVIGATION; AND TO LAUNCH A FLEXIBLE PLATFORM FROM WHICH TO BUILD OUT FUTURE INNOVATIONS. THE NEW WEBSITES OFFER MORE PROMINENT FIGURES, AN IMMEDIATELY ACCESSIBLE SUBSET OF ALM DATA CALLED METRICS SIGNPOSTS, CUSTOM SAVED SEARCH, AUTHOR DATA, FASTER NAVIGATION, AND MUCH MORE. THEY WERE AWARDED 'BEST IN CLASS' FOR NONPROFIT WEBSITES AT THE 2013 INTERACTIVE MEDIA AWARDS.PLOS ENCOURAGES THE EVALUATION OF RESEARCH AT THE ARTICLE LEVEL. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST PUBLISHERS TO PLACE ARTICLE-LEVEL METRICS (ALMS) ON EVERY ARTICLE. ALMS PROVIDE A FULL AND CONSTANTLY UPDATED PICTURE OF HOW A PAPER IS BEING USED FROM THE MOMENT IT IS PUBLISHED ONLINE. THEY PRESENT TRADITIONAL METRICS (SUCH AS CITATIONS AND ONLINE USAGE) ALONGSIDE MORE IMMEDIATE ALTERNATIVE MEASURES ("ALTMETRICS"), SUCH AS COVERAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. MANY OTHER PUBLISHERS HAVE SINCE ADOPTED THE IDEA AND NEW BUSINESSES ARE NOW EMERGING TO DEMONSTRATE RESEARCH IMPACT IN THESE WAYS.OVER THE LAST YEAR, WE HAVE UPDATED OUR ALM PROGRAM TO ALLOW USERS TO VIEW AND DOWNLOAD ALMS FOR ANY ARTICLE. THESE ALM REPORTS ENABLE USERS TO CHART THE DATA AND IDENTIFY PATTERNS AND TRENDS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. WE ALSO RELEASED TH
