Annual Institutional Memberships
Flat fee, unlimited publishing for your institution
A PeerJ Annual Institutional Membership (AIM) gives your faculty the opportunity to publish for no fee in PeerJ’s journal portfolio. There is no limit on the number of articles that can be published by authors affiliated with a Institutional Member.
Annual Institutional Memberships:
- Remove barriers to OA for authors caused by APCs
- Reduce administrative overheads and associated costs for institutional partners
- Provide great value for money and protect your investment
We believe that Article Processing Charges (APCs) to fund Open Access (OA) are neither sustainable nor equitable. PeerJ Annual Institutional Memberships are an important step towards an OA future without APCs, and a move towards our ultimate goal of collective action to support globally equitable OA.
AIM pricing is tiered, based on your publishing history in PeerJ journals, and starts at just $2000. Contact us today for a quote.
PeerJ Hubs
A new concept for society and research association publishing
Grow and develop your community, and make Open Access a more attainable and equitable option for your members.
Built on top of PeerJ's existing infrastructure and journal portfolio:
- Hubs provide a submission portal for partners, with editorial guidance and oversight provided by your members to ensure research content published in the Hub reflects the scope and aims of your organization.
- Hub partners can choose from a range of editorial models designed for every size of society and research association.
- Your members can immediately access high-quality, indexed journals with established metrics and editorial boards.
- Peer review is managed by PeerJ, providing industry-leading editorial support and customer service.
Your members will benefit from discounted publishing charges, and you can choose to create a unique Cooperative Publishing Fund to support your members without the means or funding support to publish Open Access.
