Revision as of 17:14, 26 February 2016

An opportunity to publish results from iGEM 2015 in a PLOS Collection.

PLOS is pleased to announce a call for papers resulting from the iGEM 2015 competition. All teams who took part in the iGEM 2015 Jamboree can now submit their papers for inclusion in the PLOS iGEM Collection.

The aims of the iGEM Foundation – the advancement of synthetic biology through the development of open community and collaboration – are shared by PLOS, whose mission is to advance scientific communication and peer review through increased openness and sharing. The organizations share a belief that all sound science should be published and made openly available for anyone to access and reuse.

The two organizations have teamed up to offer iGEM 2015 participants the opportunity to publish their research according to these principles.

The Collection will share the discoveries and ideas of the iGEM Competition participants, and will explore ways of collaboratively improving papers through the peer review process. Submissions to the PLOS iGEM Collection will be posted for open review on the PLOS Collections blog, where members of the PLOS and iGEM communities will review them. PLOS will draw not only on the PLOS ONE Editorial Board but also the PLOS Syn Bio Community and iGEM alumni to galvanise reviewers. Reviews will be posted as comments on the blog and all reviewers will be asked to sign their review. Submissions will undergo technical checks by PLOS staff prior to being posted.

“PLOS is thrilled to be working with iGEM to offer these talented young researchers the opportunity to publish their work. We want them to experience the process of peer review and publication as it should be—a positive, constructive and collaborative experience”
says Veronique Kriemer, Executive Editor, PLOS.

More information about the project, the review process and, most importantly, how to submit your work can be found here.
PLOS and iGEM look forward to working together on this project and experimenting in open, community-led peer review.
