PLoS Open Access Collection – Resources to Educate and Advocate
In keeping with PLoS’ mission, we periodically publish articles that explore the issues surrounding open access. This cross-journal collection provides some key resources to help educate and advocate for open access. New articles will be added to the collection as they are published at www.ploscollections.org/openaccess.
In this blog post, we have organized the Collection content into different categories. Please feel free to share this information widely, as all PLoS content is published under a Creative Commons Attribution License.
