Format

The journal publishes both original research and review articles. All articles are open access and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License. [2]

Since its inception, the journal has published the Ten Simple Rules series of practical guides, [3] [4] [5] which has subsequently become one of the journal's most read article series. [6]

The Ten Simple Rules series then led to the Quick Tips collection, whose articles contain recommendations on computational practices and methods, [7] [8] such as dimensionality reduction [9] for example.

In 2012, it launched the Topic Page review format, which dual-publishes peer-reviewed articles both in the journal and on Wikipedia. [10] [11] It was the first publication of its kind to publish in this way. [12] [13]
