PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

Your Say is the site on PLOS BLOGS Network for guest posts from scientists and science writers who wish to express individual points of view on issues in science, medicine and scholarly publishing.  We encourage voices and perspectives from any scientific discipline.

This space is dedicated to you: You can post about your research, write a book review or a personal essay, interview a thought leader or colleague. We encourage formats and ideas that don’t quite fit elsewhere on our network — an acknowledgment that effective science communication can (and should) take many forms.

Your Say posts are lightly edited, if at all, and solely represent the views of their authors — not those of PLOS. We won’t accept posts that are overtly political or marketing in nature.
