Abstract
How to Stir Up Trouble…while Riding a Rollercoaster
Highlights
Is that too disruptive? On the contrary—the history of PLOS is of an innovative organization started by people with a vision of changing publishing, who employed staff who shared that vision, who themselves understood the need for disruption as well as the pragmatic realities of publishing to make that vision a reality
I’m delighted to say that my successor will be Larry Peiperl, who is currently a Clinical Professor at UCSF School of Medicine. He previously worked at PLOS Medicine and was the journal’s first Senior Research Editor
PLOS Medicine is in rude health as I hand it on
Summary
The phrase that best sums up my time at PLOS Medicine is from a tremendously skilled lawyer who has held our hands through some difficult times:. PLOS Medicine is in rude (translation: excellent) health as I hand it on This is undoubtedly due to the tremendously talented editors and editorial staff at the journal along with the staff working on other teams within PLOS, as well as our many academic editors, reviewers, and authors. By OA I mean, free, immediate access that allows human and machine reuse without restriction, ensuring that authors are credited This was the principle on which PLOS Medicine was founded; its acceptance, not without opposition, has gained substantial and sustainable traction.
