Description:
PeerJ is an Open Access publisher of scholarly articles that aims to drive the costs of publishing down, while improving the overall publishing experience and giving authors a publication venue suitable for the 21st Century.
PeerJ publishes PeerJ (a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal) and PeerJ PrePrints (an un-peer-reviewed preprint server), both of which serve the biological, medical and health sciences.
PeerJ’s core beliefs are to ‘keep innovating’, to ‘remember whom we serve’ (i.e. the academic community) and to ‘pass on the savings’ back to that community.

PeerJ was launched in 2012 by Co-Founders Jason Hoyt (previously of Mendeley) and Peter Binfield (previously of PLOS ONE). PeerJ has been financed by Venture Capital investment from O’Reilly Media and OATV, and Tim O’Reilly is on the Governing Board.
