PLOS (Public Library of Science) pioneered the open access model in science. Its flagship journal PLOS ONE has published over 250,000 peer-reviewed articles since 2006. All PLOS content is freely available immediately upon publication. The organization advocates for open science through initiatives like PLOS Pathogens (for infectious disease research) and PLOS Computational Biology. PLOS journals are indexed in major databases including PubMed and Web of Science:cite[8]:cite[10].
