Welcome to EveryONE

By clock on March 24, 2009.

EveryONE? What's that? It is the new PLoS ONE community blog:

Why a blog and why now? As of March 2009, PLoS ONE, the peer-reviewed open-access journal for all scientific and medical research, has published over 5,000 articles, representing the work of over 30,000 authors and co-authors, and receives over 160,000 unique visitors per month. That's a good sized online community and we thought it was about time that you had a blog to call your own. This blog is for authors who have published with us and for users who haven't and it contains something for everyone.

Just launched, this blog will have posts about all aspects of PLoS ONE, from technical to editorial, about Open Access, etc. I will give you more information soon. Join the community and contribute. Chris Patil and Neil Saunders already did.
