PLOS Computational Biology is a peer-reviewed computational biology journal established in 2005 and published by the nonprofit Public Library of Science in association with the International Society for Computational Biology. The founding Editor in Chief was Philip Bourne, and the current Editor in Chief is Ruth Nussinov. Its impact factor (2017) has dropped below 4.0 for the first time.

Format

It publishes both original research and review articles. All articles are open access and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License.[1]The journal is known beyond its core field for its Ten Simple Rules series[2] of articles that capture the essence of selected aspects of research in computational biology or in science more generally, e.g. how to present a poster,[3] how to collaborate,[4] or how to edit Wikipedia.[5]

In 2012, it launched the 'Topic Page' review format, which dual-publishes peer-reviewed articles both in the journal and into Wikipedia.[6][7] It was the first publication of its kind to publish in this way.[8]
