Some want to submit to just one plos journal. So perhaps there could be two tracks - journal specific and PLoS all -- will suggestJonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-15396983012389429702009-08-27T08:53:10.478-07:002009-08-27T08:53:10.478-07:00thanks for letting us know about this.

It is a great idea. <br /><br />I also like the idea of sending a single MS to PLOS-all but would there be the necessary breadth of editors to properly pre-review? this seems to be a problem even at specialized journals like Plant Cell.Pamela Ronaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905736049638342587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-25092617666205955472009-08-27T08:47:24.360-07:002009-08-27T08:47:24.360-07:00It's already been accepted!

I hope they start one for genomics/metagenomics soon.<br /><br />I also think the PLoS submission process should be re-engineered. I feel it's more fit to the PLoS vision that all articles are submitted to one venue (PLoS-ALL) and then, after peer review, directed to the appropriate journal based on significance/impact. This will be better than having the submissions to the flagship PLoS journals redirected--without review--to another community journal or to PLoS ONE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
