Overview

This is the only relevant example of a PLOS "ten simple rules" paper that I've seen.

The purpose of the article is how to cultivate open science, where I see our article discussing actual open science practices. Both are extremely important as open science cannot be practiced without cultivation.

Summary

The article approaches open science as a solution to high complexity and high cost of using science to improve society. The authors take an industry focus and propose rules that aim to incentivize open science to biotech companies. They provide interviews for 8 different biotech leaders.

Why we should cite

It will be important to set our article apart from this one. I don't think we'll have too much trouble doing so, but we should also make sure our scope doesn't overlap too much.
