Winter Service Update
Happy holidays from the staff at PLOS ONE!
As we are well into the winter months, we wanted to take this opportunity to notify our authors that there may be a slight delay in the review of their manuscript if they submit anytime between now and the end of January. This is because many of our editorial board members and reviewers are away from the office for the holidays and/or travel. Please rest assured that we will do our utmost to process your manuscript in a timely manner, but be aware that historically we have experienced some delays during the winter holidays. We will endeavor to ensure that all manuscripts submitted to PLOS ONE are evaluated as quickly as possible, but please accept our apologies in advance if you experience any delays.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via the PLOS ONE inbox (plosone@plos.org) and, between our offices in the UK and the US, we will reply as quickly as possible.
