With the advent of the Internet, several peer-review journals have adopted the call for open access. One of biggest open access journals is the Public Library of Science, an online, nonprofit publisher and advocacy organization founded to accelerate progress in science. While the project charges a slightly higher publication fee to cover peer review management, journal production and online hosting, PLoS makes its articles free to read, distribute and reuse. In addition, the organization accepts all papers that demonstrate scientific rigor, rather than placing an artificial cap, which allow more scientific knowledge to be generated and circulated.
