Redefining Publishing: PLOS Partners with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation & Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - PLOS

"With support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, PLOS is embarking on a pioneering 18 month research and design project to address two significant barriers in Open Science:
