In keeping with our primary mission of making the world’s scientific and medical literature a public resource, PLoS periodically publishes articles that explore the issues surrounding open access. Selected articles—collected from PLoS Biology, PLoS Medicine, PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS Pathogens, and PLoS ONE—are featured to highlight key issues relating to open access. New articles will be added to the collection as they are published at www.ploscollections.org/openaccess

All PLoS content is published under a Creative Commons Attribution License; hence users can, with attribution, download, print, or reuse in any way either individual articles or entire collections.
