<description><![CDATA[Five years of access and activism.
In April 2009, PLoS Medicine announced a "refocusing of the journal's priorities." Going forward, said the editors, the journal would prioritize papers addressing those diseases with the greatest global burden. It would also aim to be as broad a journal as possible, publishing papers that explored not just biological causes of illness, but also social, environmental, and political determinants of health. In this month's Editorial, as the journal marks its official five year anniversary, the editors look back over the last six months to assess the impact of the refocused scope.
