How are PLoS Genetics articles archived, and how safe are they?
PLoS Genetics articles are made freely available at our website as soon as they are published and also deposited in PubMed Central. In addition, our licensing agreement allows any third party—librarian, institution, or individual—to establish their own archive of PLoS articles. The longevity of any article depends on the ease with which it can be copied and redistributed in multiple locations, and open-access publishing ensures that archiving is as simple as possible.
