Talk:Public Library of Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Followup to the anonymous contributor who claimed that PLoS Biology journal articles were only available PDF. Both HTML full text and PDF are available, for example, for the article:

Lee AI, Fugmann SD, Cowell LG, Ptaszek LM, Kelsoe G, et al. (2003) A Functional Analysis of the Spacer of V(D)J Recombination Signal Sequences. PLoS Biol 1(1): e1 DOI:10.1371/journal.pbio.0000001.

The user may have been confused, because pre-publication papers [1], are available only as PDF, but once published, HTML full-text is available. -- Lexor 01:48, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Self-archive clairification

What does "focused instead on allowing authors to self-archive their original submission" mean? Is is not clear from the context. Thanks, GChriss 00:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PLoS in wikipedia

Can articles from PLoS be copied to wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.57.182 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 5 September 2006

Yes. All articles from the PLoS journals are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.15.76.3 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 28 September 2006

Note that this requires the source of the maerial to be specified. DGG 05:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Reference List

The Reference List is absurd and not appropriate. WP is not a bibliography--or a webography. Perhaps whoever added them will select those that are most important and remove the others. DGG 05:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

This is true -- what is needed are succinct references with an in-text numbering scheme. I'll help. GChriss <always listening><c> 20:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] links

Per MOS and EL, dont use images in links. DGG (talk) 03:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
