What began as a one-off in 2005 as Ten Simple Rules for Getting Published [1] has, in thirteen years, now multiplied a hundredfold to become One Thousand Simple Rules for many aspects of one's professional development and led to Quick Tips in the journal's Education section.This milestone of a thousand rules has been reached thanks to the unselfish work of all stakeholders-authors, editors, reviewers, and readers.Let's face it, writing, editing or reviewing a Ten Simple Rules (TSR) article is not the same as a publication that advances a scientific field.What it is going to get you is the satisfaction of knowing you have passed on a part of your experience in a form that is easily understood and acted upon by those following in your footsteps and hence have a very different kind of positive impact on science.Thank you.On the other hand, as a reader the TSRs might contribute in some small way to you getting tenure, or whatever else you care about in your professional life."How to write a review, by M Pautasso.It changed my approach to writing reviews."Anonymous, Academic faculty "Ten Simple Rules for Reproducible Computational Research, and other articles related to computational biology, programming, etc.They really helped in organizing my projects and code more efficiently."
