PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases: 10th Anniversary Collection

Published August 14, 2017 Curated Collections

Ten years ago, PLOS published the inaugural issue of PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, the first open access journal devoted to highlighting research and commentary on the forgotten diseases that affect the world’s most neglected people. The recently published 10th Anniversary Collection in PLOS NTDs marks the journal’s important milestone with retrospective pieces featuring over 20 NTDs. The articles in the collection reflect on significant lessons and successes in the field over the past decade as well as identify some of the remaining challenges. Together, they lay out a roadmap for future research priorities, identifying key opportunities for further progress in disease elimination.
