PLOS Clarifies its Publication Fee Assistance Policy

There has been quite a bit of confusion regarding the publication fees that Public Library of Science charges to publish in PLOS.  I have heard several researchers say that this was a barrier to publication and that they can't afford the fees.  On January 16, 2015 they clarified the policy and stated that they do not intend for authors to fund publication fees through their personal funds.
