PLOS Partnership
Gates-funded researchers can now publish in PLOS journals without paying article processing charges (APCs). The Gates Foundation is proud to support PLOS with a $3.3 million grant to accelerate its transition away from traditional article processing charges (APCs). Through this three-year partnership (2025–2027), we aim to remove financial barriers for researchers we fund, allowing them to publish in any PLOS journal without incurring APCs. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to fostering a more equitable and open publishing ecosystem that supports global access to knowledge. Learn more.
