==Reception and Criticism==
In September 2009, ''PLOS One'' received the Publishing Innovation Award of the [[Association for Learned and Professional Society Publishers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alpsp.org/ngen_public/default.asp?ID=251&groupid=192&groupname=About+ALPSP|title=ALPSP Awards 2010–finalists announced|work=ALPSP|accessdate=9 September 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111211051525/http://www.alpsp.org/ngen_public/default.asp?ID=251&groupid=192&groupname=About%20ALPSP|archive-date=11 December 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The award is given in recognition of a "truly innovative approach to any aspect of publication as adjudged from originality and innovative qualities, together with utility, benefit to the community and long-term prospects". In January 2010, it was announced that the journal would be included in the ''[[Journal Citation Reports]]'',<ref>{{cite web |work=PLOS Blogs |title=PLOS ONE indexed by Web of Science |url=http://www.plos.org/cms/node/506 |first=Mark |last=Patterson |accessdate=9 September 2010 |date=5 January 2010}}</ref> and the journal received an impact factor of 4.411 in 2010.

[[Jeffrey Beall]] described PLOS One as a "scientific spammer" which "esembles a lonely and un-selective digital repository more than a scholarly publication." <ref>{{cite web |last1=Beall |first1=Jeffrey |title=Ongoing Questions about PLOS ONE’s Peer Review |url=https://scholarlyoa.com/2016/08/23/ongoing-questions-about-plos-ones-peer-review/ |website=Scholarly Open Access |accessdate=23 December 2019 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824014201/https://scholarlyoa.com/2016/08/23/ongoing-questions-about-plos-ones-peer-review/ |url-status=dead}}</ref>
