What is the relationship between PLoS Genetics and other PLoS journals?
Each PLoS journal is editorially independent. This means that, while one journal’s editors may suggest that a paper instead be submitted to another PLoS journal, it is ultimately the choice of authors as to where to (re)submit their paper. The fact that all the PLoS journals use the same manuscript submission system means that, with the authors’ permission and minor adjustments as desired (e.g. to the authors’ cover letter), manuscripts can easily be transferred from one journal to another for further consideration.
