The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is a nonprofit organization of scientists committed to making the world's scientific and medical literature a public resource.

The goals are to:

• Open the doors to the world's library of scientific knowledge by giving any scientist, physician, patient, or student - anywhere in the world - unlimited access to the latest scientific research.
• Facilitate research, informed medical practice, and education by making it possible to search the full contents of every published article to locate specific ideas, methods, experimental results, and observations.
• Enable scientists, librarians, publishers, and entrepreneurs to develop innovative ways to explore and use the world's treasury of scientific ideas and discoveries.
