Open science, open access, publication timelines are all discussed in our podcast this week with PLOS ONE Associate Editor George Vousden and Research Manager Rui Maruricio at ARUK. PLOS ONE has launched a call-for-papers, inviting researchers to submit their latest research on the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The impact of AD may be lessened by timely diagnosis, allowing access to care pathways and enabling planning for advanced care. Likewise, the ability to diagnose AD at its early stages is likely a prerequisite for the successful implementation of novel disease-modifying treatments. Submissions are welcome across all disciplines, including basic research, translational studies in animal models and studies in patient populations. https://collections.plos.org/s/alzheimersdisease
