Collections

PLOS Collections are important thematic issues or group projects of a variety of research outputs that need publishing and promotion. PLOS Pathogens collaborates with other PLOS journals to expose the research to thousands of relevant researchers and give their high profile projects the visibility they deserve.

PLOS Pathogens: Research Matters PLOS Pathogens presents Research Matters as a means to bridge the gap between academic research and the public. Research Matters provides a forum for active scientists to tell the public how diverse fundamental research into pathogens assures real and compelling impact on public health, human knowledge, and life as well as to develop a collective voice of the pathogens research community.
