Announcing a new online journal, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Later this year, PLoS (the Public Library of Science), the open-access publisher of high-quality peer-reviewed online journals, will launch PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. All PLoS articles are freely available online for you to use and share in any way you choose, and the copyright remains where it belongs—with the author .

Fast publication – a seamless electronic workflow quickly puts articles online

Wide dissemination – open access democratizes science making it globally available

Barrier-free communication – frequently leads to great media coverage

Access in perpetuity – automatic deposit in PubMed Central ensures availability forever

No subscription fees – means everyone can read and enjoy research
