Mashup of Google Knol, Plos and Rapid Research Notes

Plos Currents is the new modern era scientific journals that has peer-review and are designed for collaboration and rapid dissemination from scratch. Google is doing a great job for the scientific community and research that will benefit all, as ususal.

"The successful development of open access publishing by organizations including the Public Library of Science (PLoS) in recent years is a dramatic illustration of how the Internet is revolutionizing scientific communication. Today, after several months of work, I’m delighted to announce that PLoS is launching PLoS Currents (Beta) – a new and experimental website for the rapid communication of research results and ideas. In response to the recent worldwide H1N1 influenza outbreak, the first PLoS Currents research theme is influenza."
