Forthcoming Journal from PLoS
Later this year, the Public Library of Science (PLoS) will be launching the journal PLoS Clinical Trials. The journal is described as "an international peer-reviewed open-access journal that will publish results of Phase III and late Phase II human clinical trials from all medical and public health disciplines. The journal's main aim is to increase the breadth of clinical trials reporting and thus ensure that all trials on human participants can be reported in the peer-reviewed literature."
