PeerJ, open-access scientific journal
PeerJ is a scientific online journal based in the US that publishes research articles in biology, medicine, and health sciences. The platform operates on a model where authors pay a fee to publish their work while readers can access articles for free.
PeerJ was founded in mid-2012 and began accepting submissions by the end of that year, with first publications appearing in early 2013. The journal was started by Jason Hoyt and Peter Binfield, who previously worked at major organizations in scientific publishing.
PeerJ's name reflects a philosophy of scientists helping scientists through open collaboration. The platform enables researchers worldwide to share their work and learn from each other without financial barriers getting in the way.
You can visit the website to search for freely accessible articles, browse collections, or look for specific topics. The simple design makes it easy to find what you need quickly, whether you are new to research or an experienced scientist.
PeerJ originally used a membership model where authors paid a one-time fee to publish forever, but shifted to a per-article fee structure in 2016. This flexibility shows how the platform adapts to meet the changing needs of the scientific community.
