Redefining Publishing: PLOS receives multi-million-dollar grant funding for new research initiative

PLOS today announced that it has received a $1.5 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and a $1 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to support our mission to drive Open Science forward with meaningful change in scholarly publishing. The funds enable PLOS to embark on an ambitious 18-month research and design project to explore how to tackle two barriers that exclude many researchers from meaningfully participating in Open Science: affordability and a lack of recognition for Open Science contributions in the research process. The goal of this project is to demonstrate outcomes for science that go ‘beyond the Article’ and build a business model that goes ‘beyond the Article Processing Charge (APC)’, highlighting that new solutions anchored in the principles of Open Science are feasible and can deliver tangible benefits for the entire research enterprise. PLOS seeks to be a catalyst in transforming publishing models and ensuring that science is open, recognized, and accessible to all.

“PLOS has long championed, and enabled Open Sciences contributions like Open Data, Open Code and Open Methods. Yet today’s scholarly ecosystem still places an exclusive emphasis on the article. PLOS is committed to designing a new model of research publication that enables recognition of all research outputs and contributions—creating a more comprehensive and equitable system for assessing scientific work,” said Veronique Kiermer, Chief Scientific Officer, PLOS. “The grants from the Robert Wood Johnson and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundations will also enable PLOS to develop an equitable, non ‘APC’ business model for these new publishing capabilities, designed to foster a more inclusive, transparent, and collaborative system, while upholding the core principles of Open Science.”

“Open Science means research that’s more inclusive, equitable, and accessible,” said Nancy Barrand, Senior Advisor for Program Development, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “We’re excited to support this effort by PLOS to push the field in that direction by redesigning the publishing model for scientific papers to increase visibility, drive collaboration, and ultimately build a new system that’s more inclusive and participatory for early career researchers and diverse voices.”

“Since our original grant in 2002 to support the transition from pay-for-access research publication system to an open-access system, we have observed the transformation of PLOS as a publisher,” said Adam Jones, Ph.D., Science Program Officer, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. “With this latest grant and partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation we are excited to see an economic shift to a new approach that facilitates both access to knowledge and participation in knowledge creation by a wider range of researchers.”

The project will have three interconnected streams, which include:

Knowledge stack design

PLOS will develop a new, integrated solution that enhances the visibility and discoverability of non-article research outputs, including data, code, and methods. The goal is to ensure that these contributions are recognized alongside traditional articles without disrupting the current publishing workflow. By working with repositories and indexing services PLOS will ensure that these outputs are hosted in the best possible venues, making them easily accessible and reusable.

Upon completion, PLOS will have a fully tested, scalable solution design that can integrate with the existing digital infrastructure and publishing processes, helping researchers showcase their complete body of work.

Business models

PLOS will conduct a comprehensive economic analysis to explore how transitioning to a knowledge stack impacts funding flows across different global markets. Grounded in equity and price transparency, the goal is to develop a sustainable, non-APC business model for all research outputs in collaboration with funders, libraries, and scientific institutions.

This business model aims to be a catalyst for a global shift away from APCs, enabling greater participation in Open Science and paving the way toward long-term sustainability.

Building solutions with our communities

Driving meaningful change in Open Science requires collaboration across the research ecosystem. PLOS is committed to working closely with a diverse array of stakeholders—researchers, funders, institutional leaders, and librarians—to ensure that their needs and voices are central to the development and implementation of this initiative.

By engaging directly with communities, PLOS will ensure that the solutions that are built are inclusive, effective, and widely adopted.

Announcing the Launch of the Peer Review Terminology Website | A Collaboration Between STM and NISO

As Peer Review Week kicks off, STM is excited to announce the launch of the Peer Review Terminology website—a new resource designed to bring greater clarity, consistency, and transparency to the peer review process. Created through a partnership between STM and NISO, this initiative reflects our shared mission to enhance scholarly communication and streamline research practices.  

Why Peer Review Terminology Matters 

At its core, Peer Review Terminology serves a vital purpose: it standardizes the language and definitions used in peer review processes across the publishing ecosystem. In an era in which  transparency and openness are more critical than ever, particularly with the rise of open peer review, this kind of consistency helps all stakeholders—authors, reviewers, editors, and readers—to engage with greater confidence and clarity. 

By formalizing a common terminology, the project enhances transparency and allows the community to better assess and compare practices between journals. The end result is a more efficient and trustworthy peer review system, advancing the quality and reliability of scholarly research. Standardizing peer review language also accelerates innovation by helping stakeholders communicate clearly. 

A Model of Collaboration 

The partnership between STM and NISO demonstrates how diverse organizations can come together to solve complex challenges in research communication. Together, we developed a peer review standard, formalized as ANSI/NISO Z39.106-2023, Standard Terminology for Peer Review in July 2023, which we are now actively promoting across the publishing community.  

“The launch of Peer Review Terminology is a significant achievement that reflects the power of collaboration between organizations like STM and NISO,” says Caroline Sutton, CEO of STM. “We are united in our commitment to enhancing the transparency and consistency of the peer review process. By standardizing the language of peer review, we’re building trust and improving the overall quality of scholarly communication.”

Key Features of the Peer Review Terminology Website

  • Standard Terminology: A collection of definitions used in articulating the processes involved in the majority of peer review models (including most open review models), and covering four core elements: identity transparency, reviewer interactions, published review process information, and post-publication commenting. Although initially focused on journal articles, this standard has the potential to expand to other types of research outputs such as books, preprints, and data.
  • Adopter Dashboard: Documentation of the growing number of publishers implementing the peer review terminology, i.e. it being adopted in all places where the publishers communicate about review models used in journals. This feature illustrates where the standards are being adopted across the industry, giving a clear picture of progress.
  • 5 Steps to Get Started: A clear, user-friendly guide outlining five steps publishers can take to implement the peer review terminology within their processes. This roadmap ensures that even publishers at the beginning of their journey can quickly start aligning with the standard. 

Join Us in shaping the future of Peer Review 

As Peer Review Week begins, there’s no better time to explore the new Peer Review Terminology website and join the growing list of adopters who are helping shape the future of peer review.

Taylor & Francis Announces Subscribe to Open Journals Pilot

Taylor & Francis has today announced its first Subscribe to Open (S2O) pilot, one of several innovative options it is trialing to accelerate open access (OA) publishing. S2O enables a journal’s subscribers to support its conversion to OA, making new articles available to readers everywhere.

Taylor & Francis is inviting existing subscribers of the participating journals to renew their subscriptions for next year by March. If enough institutions support S2O in this way, all articles published in the 2025 volume will be open access. This process can then be repeated, one volume at a time, for the following years. If the required level of support is not achieved for any of the pilot titles, they will remain as subscription journals (with a hybrid OA option).

S2O introduces an additional equitable route for making trusted knowledge available to all. Under S2O’s collective funding model OA publishing costs are covered by subscribers, which means there are no article publishing charges for authors. This makes it a promising solution for journals in fields where researchers are less likely to have access to OA funding, such as Humanities and Social Sciences, and for authors based in low-income regions.

Emily Farrell, Global Commercial Director for Open Research at Taylor & Francis, said: “As one of the first of the large publishers to trial an S2O model, we are excited to see how this pilot develops. We are very grateful to those partners who have already indicated that they will support this new model, and hope to see growing support for this collective approach to providing open access pathways.”

This pilot aims to pave a path to open for three journals: Technical Services Quarterly, Legal Reference Services Quarterly and LGBT Issues in Counseling.

Taylor & Francis is one of the world’s largest OA publishers, with a record of exploring innovative open research options. Recent examples include Pledge to Open, Taylor & Francis’ collaborative funding initiative for OA books; Critical Insights, an OA journal series for impactful research on contemporary challenges; and VeriXiv, a new verified preprint platform launched by F1000 with the Gates Foundation.

Alex Robinson, Chief Commercial Officer at Taylor & Francis, explained: “We believe that a diversity of models is required to support the move to an open future. Our ‘read and publish’ agreements have been very successful at increasing the number of articles published OA each year, helping authors at over 1,000 institutions around the world to choose open. However, that route alone will not work for every researcher, institution and journal. We are therefore committed to trialing a variety of new models which we hope can become additional long-term choices.”
