Over the next few years, many important medical journals will be available online, free and in full-text. The unrestricted access to scientific knowledge will have a major impact on medical practice. Open access medical textbooks will soon become the standard in medical publishing.

We are dedicated to improving the health of the people by promoting clinical practice based on the best evidence of effectiveness and the efficient use of resources. We achieve this through a network of physicians, biostatisticians and social scientists who work together to build and sustain institutional capacity for excellence and relevance in research and medical education

PLoS ONE is an exciting new publication by PLoS which will publish the results of scientific research from any scientific or medical discipline in an open access environment, and will facilitate the discovery of connections between papers within or between disciplines. It will employ a two-stage peer-review process. Pre-publication peer review will concentrate on objective and technical concerns to determine whether the research has been sufficiently well conceived, well executed, and well described to justify inclusion in the scientific record. Post-publication papers are opened up for interactive discussions, annotations and assessment in which the whole scientific community can participate.
