PLOS Computational Biology is a monthly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal covering computational biology. It was established in 2005 by the Public Library of Science in association with the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in the same format as the previously established PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine.
PLOS One (stylized PLOS ONE, and formerly PLoS ONE) is a peer-reviewed open access mega journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLOS) since 2006. The journal covers primary research from any discipline within science and medicine .
This is a list of open-access journals by field. The list contains notable journals which have a policy of full open access. It does not include delayed open access journals, hybrid open access journals, or related collections or indexing services. True open-access journals can be split into two categories:
In 2007, Ukraine became the first country to create a national policy on open access, followed by Spain in 2009. Argentina, Brazil, and Poland are currently in the process of developing open access policies. Making master's and doctoral theses open access is an increasingly popular mandate by many educational institutions. [2]
Nucleic Acids Research specifically prohibits Nature Precedings or PLOS Currents [67] (though both are no longer operative since 2018). Unrestricted Unrestricted, except: American Society for Nutrition journals require that if posted under any open access license, author must pay Article Processing Charge for hybrid OA publication.

A mega journal (also mega-journal and megajournal) is a peer-reviewed academic open access journal designed to be much larger than a traditional journal by exercising low selectivity among accepted articles. It was pioneered by PLOS ONE. [1] [2] This "very lucrative publishing model" [2] was soon emulated by other publishers.
It continued to do so until January 2013, when Infrastructure Services for Open Access (IS4OA) took over. The Infrastructure Services for Open Access (IS4OA) C.I.C. was founded in 2012 in the UK as a community interest company by open access advocates Caroline Sutton and Alma Swan. [12] It runs the DOAJ and, until 2017, the Open Citations Corpus.
APC fees applied to academic research are usually expensive, effectively limiting open access publishing to wealthier institutions, scholars, and students. The APC model of open access, among other controversies, is part of the wider and increasingly global Open Access OA's ethics debate. [11] Most journals do not charge APCs.
