PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice. We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.
The PLOS Publication Ethics team works to uphold the integrity and reliability of PLOS publications and supports PLOS journals in publication ethics-related issues and policy development. The team also engages with external parties and organizations in publication ethics-related discussions and initiatives.
This role’s primary responsibility is to investigate and resolve publication ethics cases involving PLOS journal content. Cases may be raised before or after publication, and may center on scientific, ethics, or policy compliance issues (e.g., image integrity issues, animal/human research ethics concerns, data ownership issues, etc.). You will also support PLOS journal editors in their publication ethics work, contribute to Publication Ethics team projects and initiatives (e.g. efforts to improve detection and/or resolution of publication ethics issues), and contribute to other team-level efforts to address ethics and integrity issues at PLOS.
