Today PLOS publishes Redefining Publishing: Practical pathways to open science, the public report from our 18-month research and design project. The report asks how publishing can better support open science. Explore the report: plos.io/4o3bsun #OpenScience

Could your research help health systems prepare for #ClimateChange? 🌍 Submit to our new collection. Topics of interest include climate resilience, planetary health, air pollution, extreme weather, infectious diseases, urban health, climate financing, and One Health approaches. 🔗 plos.io/4ilLMH5

We are wrapping up #OpenAccessWeek with some inspiration from our Redefining Publishing report: Practicing open science leads to economic benefits. By enabling research reuse at scale, we can lower the cost of knowledge for all. Read the full report: plos.io/4hTTf0X

We continue #OpenAccessWeek with what it means to be a non-profit. We exist to serve the research community, not shareholders. We undertake activities that catalyze broader change in scholarly communication and change publishing for the better. Learn more about our mission: plos.io/4k2bL8H

At the heart of this year’s #OpenAccessWeek theme is equity. The 'How Equitable Is It?' Tool we developed alongside @jisc.bsky.social and @coalitions-oa.bsky.social gives libraries and consortia a framework to navigate equity indicators when assessing different publishing models. 🔗 plos.io/4yWHjkX

We have been reimaging financial models for open science publishing since 2020. Our Global Equity model and Community Action Publishing show how it is possible to go beyond APCs and distribute publishing costs more equitably amongst stakeholders. ➡️ Learn more: plos.io/3U9TxYu

It’s #OpenAccessWeek and the theme is “The cost of knowledge.” We have always believed knowledge should be accessible to everyone without barriers. PLOS is proud to have been part of the movement to #OpenAccess, but is it time to move beyond the article? Find out more in our report: plos.io/4hTTf0X

We are pleased to be collaborating with @janewayolh.bsky.social to develop and extend open-source infrastructure that will support parts of article submission process. ➡️ Read more: plos.io/4zGY0kj

In #OpenScienceWeek, advocates come together to celebrate open science. As part of our Redefining Publishing report, we commissioned an economic analysis of its impact. The findings are clear: economic value is created when research outputs can be accessed and reused. buff.ly/lVidn5D

As research output grows, so does the demand for peer review. Can AI help? We explore both the potential and risks of using AI in peer review, and the importance of protecting quality and integrity: buff.ly/Itz4JvA #PeerReviewWeek #PRW2026

We continue #OpenScienceWeek by highlighting the second output of our Redefining Publishing report on the future of the publishing business model. PLOS commits to develop a sustainable, non-APC model for research outputs and broaden participation in open science. 🔗 Read the report: buff.ly/hN8ycqN

Open peer review can mean different things, from publishing review reports to sharing reviewer identities or connecting review with preprints. We explore different approaches to making peer review more transparent: buff.ly/6Vrxhfl #PeerReviewWeek #PRW2026

In our Redefining Publishing report, we propose a new integrated publishing solution called the knowledge stack. The goal is to ensure research outputs, including data & code, are recognized alongside traditional articles. 🔗 buff.ly/hN8ycqN #OpenScienceWeek

It’s #OpenScienceWeek! At PLOS we believe in a future where science is open to all, for all. But how do we actually reach that future? Read our report, Redefining Publishing, to see how we are committed to drive change in open science: buff.ly/hN8ycqN
