PLoS Blogs

(via The Scientific Activist, Evolving Thoughts)

First came PLoS, then PLoS ONE, now PLoS blogs

A blog? Here's their mission:

... to give an insider's view of the latest developments at PLoS. To keep it simple, we've divided the content into two tracks:

Publishing
Enter a discussion of our latest e-publishing initiatives.

Technology
Enter a debate surrounding our new open access 2.0 platform.

We quietly watched as word spread. And we loved it.

Very interesting ...
