But taking them out and adding both FEBS and PLoS One itself we have at least nine.

They have been active recruiting reviewers to form large editorial boards to support the fast tracking. I have had a couple of wary researchers here ask for opinions as to whether it is GOOD THING, after being scared off by some of the 'predatory' OA publishers spamming them.
