Our mission is to give researchers the publishing tools and services they want with a unique and exciting experience.
PeerJ publishes seven open access journals
- PeerJ Life & Environment
- PeerJ Computer Science
- Five PeerJ Chemistry journals - Physical Chemistry, Materials Science, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry.
We publish impactful research. Since 2013 we've published over 13,000 articles, peer-reviewed by our international Editorial Boards of over 2,000 respected academics.
Authors love publishing with us, enjoying our industry leading customer service and our unique submission and peer review platform. Over 95% of authors recommend us. We pride ourselves on providing developmental peer review with quick turnaround times.
All reviews of published articles are made public. This includes manuscript files, peer review comments, author rebuttals and revised materials. Note: For submissions created before 13 February 2023, authors were able to opt-opt of publishing their peer review history. Peer reviewers are encouraged (but not required) to provide their names to the authors when submitting their peer review. If they agree to provide their name, then their personal profile page will reflect a public acknowledgment that they performed a review (even if the article is rejected). If the article is accepted, then reviewers who provided their name will be associated with the article itself.
