Section Editors

PLOS Computational Biology Section Editors are experts in the fields of research they serve, experienced in the peer review process, ambassadors for Open Science, and active participants in their communities. Section Editors lead the subject sections within the journal scope and advise a group of Academic Editors with expertise in their discipline.

Education and Ten Simple Rules Section Editors are responsible for reviewing and commissioning high-interest front matter that is broad in appeal and solution-oriented. PLOS Computational Biology encourages you to reach out to the editors if you have an idea for a piece
