Abstract
Now We Are Six
Highlights
This year we will begin our sixth year of publishing PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, the first open-access journal for the community of biomedical and social scientists, public health experts, and health care providers committed to studying the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) (Figure 1)
PLOS NTDs worked to create a unique vision for publishing tropical medicine papers that was different from other journals in the field
Our editorial staff and board feel that we could improve our endemic country outreach, and we are aggressively seeking to expand the editorial board representation and papers that come from lowincome countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and South Asia, where submissions have been far fewer (Figure 2)
