Hi Sean, thanks for your question. We are unable to provide any further information at this stage but do stay tuned! If you haven't already done so, we would recommend signing up to the mailing list for all the latest news on the journal: plos.io/3PcJ0c7
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Phil Bourne. As founding Editor‑in‑Chief of PLOS Computational Biology, Phil played a pivotal role in shaping the journal.
He was creator and writer of many Ten Simple Rules articles, and above all, a dear friend.
How do we strengthen trust in scientific authorship?
A new @pnas.org perspective from an expert working group outlines three principles: transparency, credit and accountability.
PLOS Chief Scientific Officer, @verokiermer.bsky.social acted as lead author.

This analysis is part of our Redefining Publishing program exploring how scholarly communication can better support Open Science at scale, beyond the article and beyond the APC: plos.io/4cvTzkb
A few headline takeaways:
🔸 Biggest gains come from reuse beyond publications (data, code, software, workflows)
🔸Efficiency gains reduce duplication
🔸Open infrastructures enable innovation and spillovers
🔸Costs and benefits are unevenly distributed across the research ecosystem
The image is an infographic titled "Open science creates economic value through reuse at scale," by PLOS. It highlights four benefits of reuse: prevents duplication of effort, accelerates research processes, compounds benefits through network effects, and enables reuse across sectors. The left side features a flowchart illustrating reuse from a single research output. On the right, a text box emphasizes that open science can enhance productivity and strengthen long-term performance when done correctly. A final note states, "Publishing is a vital part of the infrastructure that enables reuse at scale.
Open Science isn’t just a values choice. It’s an economic one.
We are sharing a new independent report by @technopolis-group.com on the economic benefits of #OpenScience and what drives value when research outputs are designed for reuse at scale: plos.io/4rdAxCY
