A compiled meta-list of ten simple rules for better online conferences

<b>Purpose</b>There are also a total of 8 PLOS Computational Biology ‘ten simple rules’ publications describing best practices directly associated with online conferences - but there are many more relevant to scientific communication. This is composite meta-list of the rules from each of the directly relevant editorials.<br><b>Meta-data</b>Rep is the replicate from 1-8 to itemize each editorial for reference. Paper is the title of the editorials. Rules are always from 1 to 10. Description is the rule as listed in simple format from each editorial.Category is a classification proposed to sort the rules into planning, learning, technology, scientific communication, and accessibility.<br><b>Studies</b>Martin, J.
