Editor-in-Chief, PLOS ONE Job at PLOS

"On behalf of PLOS, Kaufman Wills Fusting & Company (KWF) is seeking applicants and nominations for a visionary editor-in-chief to lead PLOS ONE, the largest scientific journal in the world.

PLOS ONE’s editorial mission is to accelerate discovery by publishing all scientifically rigorous research, regardless of novelty, and without any restriction on access or reuse.

As the leading open access journal, PLOS ONE has pioneered publication criteria focused on high ethical standards, transparent reporting, and the rigor of the methodology and conclusions reported. The rigorous peer review process that upholds these criteria is powered by an editorial board of more than 6,000 academic experts who evaluate submissions and oversee peer review. Academic Editors are supported by a strong partnership with in-house editorial staff to ensure fast, fair and professional peer review and adherence to the journal’s standards.

PLOS ONE’s broad scope provides an open access platform to publish primary research in many disciplines, multi-disciplinary research, negative results and replication studies. The breadth of topics and large readership (more than 11 million monthly article views) facilitates the discovery of connections. PLOS ONE offers a natural home for scientific communities that support open science and seek a better editorial service to advance research in their areas.

The Editor-in-Chief, PLOS ONE, is responsible for setting the editorial course of the journal for the short and long term, providing excellent service to authors and readers, and improving scholarly communication...."
