They have free journals in numerous fields, and gradually more big-name authors (in my field, neuroscience, at least) have been publishing in it. Its worth checking out.

- juberpatel 15y agoActually, the operation of PLoS journals raises an interesting question. These journals charge the researchers for publishing papers so that these papers are freely accessible to anyone. But the charges are in the range of $2200 - $3000 per paper! Doesn't that mean the traditional journals are charging reasonable fees to the readers?
