PLOS’ biological science journals cover a broad range of topics, from animal biology and plant science to genetic engineering, immunology, and microbiology…
Biological sciences research that advances global progress
A significant amount of research published in PLOS journals aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Through our commitment to Open Access and Open Science, we are helping researchers increase the real-world impact of their work by ensuring it can be shared, applied, and reused by anyone who needs it.
Discover articles aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, and some of the most talked about articles from our biological sciences portfolio.
