In late 2023, the Public Library of Science (PLOS) and the GYA announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing cooperation between the two organizations. (read more about the GYA’s partnership with PLOS here).
“GYA’s Open Science working group strives to raise awareness of Open Science principles and approaches among young scientists and to provide input into Open Science policies from a diverse, international perspective,” said Tasha Gownaris. “We’re excited about the work that PLOS is doing and are looking forward to closely collaborating on initiatives like this to make science more effective, equitable, and accessible.”
PLOS and the GYA are invested in an Open Future and want to work with stakeholders across the scholarly communication ecosystem to promote and increase uptake of Open Access and Open Science more broadly.
