Academic journal
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 . The founding
editor-in-chief was
Philip Bourne and the current ones are Feilim Mac Gabhann and Jason Papin.
[1]
Format
The journal publishes both original research and review articles. All articles are
open access and licensed under the
Creative Commons Attribution License .
[2]
Since its inception, the journal has published the Ten Simple Rules series of practical guides,
[3]
[4]
[5] which has subsequently become one of the journal's most read article series.
[6]
The Ten Simple Rules series then led to the Quick Tips collection, whose articles contain recommendations on computational practices and methods,
[7]
[8] such as
dimensionality reduction
[9] for example.
In 2012, it launched the Topic Page review format, which dual-publishes peer-reviewed articles both in the journal and on Wikipedia.
[10]
[11] It was the first publication of its kind to publish in this way.
