Oalib-free resources of 250,000 full texts

Public Library of Science (PLOS) is a non-profit academic organization supported by numerous Nobel Prize winners and charities, aiming to promote the latest research results of the science and medicine around the world.

Public Library of Science (the Public Library of Science, or PLoS) was established in October 2000, as a nonprofit organization for serving scientific and technological personnel and medical professionals, devoting to making literature all around the world in fields of science, technology and medicine free public resources available online.

At first PLoS did not see themselves as publishers, but encouraged and called on institutions publishing journals in areas of science, technology, and medicine to provide researchers with free access of the full text through public knowledge repository (such as PubMed Central). Then this got the support of more than 30,000 researchers from 180 countries, but commercial publishers had not responded to it.


For 13 years, PLOS has made much progress in open access. Similarly another repository, Oalib, strives to provide a simple way to find worldwide full texts of research papers on its main page: www.oalib.net. Welcome to oalib website! Oalib is featured with free access to 250,000 academic articles and the number is increasing every day.
