PLoS Biology 2.0

While finalizing the paper, a two-month-long medical nightmare ensued that eventually ended in the stillbirth of my first child
I convinced my collaborators on a high-profile paper to submit it to PLoS Biology, to see how this new highprofile OA journal would compare
In the four years since we published that paper, PLoS Biology has rapidly proven that OA and “top tier” can go hand-in-hand, thanks to the combined efforts of its staff and Academic Editors and the scientists who have chosen to publish in the journal
Summary
While finalizing the paper, a two-month-long medical nightmare ensued that eventually ended in the stillbirth of my first child. In 2003, I was invited to be an Academic Editor for PLoS Biology before it published its first article. The question that most interested me was whether researchers would choose OA venues for highprofile papers that could have been published in the “big” closed-access journals.
