Thanks for sharing your feedback with us – I’m really happy to hear that you can see our positive forward momentum at this point. You’re right that we’ve been very focused on delivering those improvements but over the coming months, we’ll be deliberately pivoting to defining the next era at PLOS: how will we continue to fulfill our mission through our products, insights and influence over the next few years? I’m excited to start this work and share it with our teams!
