Let's say you have a need to know about SARS in China. And you don't have access to a fancy scholarly database. Now let's say you are a researcher who wants to disseminate your work published but also vetted and made open to the public. Although very different, the people in these two scenarios could have their needs met at the same place- The
Public Library of Science (PLoS). It's an open-source, peer-reviewed gem that can help you find out about
SARS in China,
pink eye, and the
sounds elephants make when bees get too close for their comfort. The collection included journals such as
PLoS Pathogens,
PLoS Computational Biology, and my personal favorite,
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
