When to use it

Prepare manuscripts for PLOS journals (PLOS ONE, PLOS Biology, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Pathogens, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS Global Public Health and others), covering structure, abstract and author summary, Vancouver-style references, the mandatory data availability policy, ethics and financial disclosure statements, figure requirements (PACE), the PLOS LaTeX template, reporting guidelines and PLOS ONE’s publication criteria. Use when targeting any PLOS journal or checking compliance with PLOS policies.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “What do I need for the PLOS ONE data availability statement and ethics statement?”
