As 2023 gets underway, the PLOS ONE Staff Editor team have looked back on some of our favorite papers published in 2022. This editorial team currently consists of 20 full-time editors, who spend their time assisting authors, Academic Editors, reviewers and readers throughout the publication process and beyond. Given the broad scope of PLOS ONE, both in terms of research areas and article types, we are fortunate to work on an incredible variety of manuscripts and topics each year.
