PLOS Begins Using 'Essays' as a New Article Type

PLOS introduced a new article type, Essay, that is now available for PLOS ClimatePLOS Global Public HealthPLOS Mental Health, and PLOS Water.

“Essays, which are predominantly solicited by our Editors, are compelling, opinion-based pieces, focused on the most urgent and impactful topics facing our journals’ fields. They fulfill a community need for an article type that can, in particular, address concerns related to policy implications of regional or intersectional interest,” PLOS explains. “Essays will be written in an accessible, non-specialist style and will typically be 3000–4000 words in length. Unlike more traditional Review articles, which relay a thorough account of a particular topic, Essays are centered around a provocative question with an in-depth and engaging analysis of the problem. However, as is the case with Reviews, Essays undergo full peer review and our Editors will work closely with authors throughout the process.”
