Peer-Reviewed - Open Access - $99 for life - Launching in Fall 2012

The Challenge

If we can set a goal to sequence the human genome for $100, then why can't we do the same for academic publishing?

Freely Available

And why can't all of that research, and the reviews behind it, be open to the public that paid for it and to the science community?

How?

In the age of the Internet, that's possible. How much should it cost to publish then?

$99 - For Life

That's it. Lifetime membership starting at just $99. And articles are open to anyone who wants to read them. Simple.

PeerJ

The Mission

Provide a platform to openly publish peer reviewed scholarly research at a price that reflects the dramatic decrease in costs brought about from today's technology. We believe an open model such as this will accelerate the outcome of research for both the individual researcher and the community.

The $99 Sustainable Model

PeerJ is establishing a new sustainability model. Researchers will be able to purchase Lifetime Memberships, starting at just $99, giving them the rights to publish their articles in our peer reviewed journal. All published articles are made freely available to the public. Subscription fees made sense in a pre-Internet world, but now they just slow the progress of science. It's time to change that.
