I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

Ann E. Loraine

I am an Associate Professor of Bioinformatics and Genomics at UNC Charlotte. Through a combination of ability and good fortune, I run a plant-focused experimental biology lab and software-focused research group based at the North Carolina Research Campus. As an Editor for PeerJ, I believe strongly that if your results are correct and well-supported, then they should be published. No-one can know in advance which results are significant and important, least of all myself. However, if your results resonate with me and my interests, it will be easier for me to become your enthusiastic advocate in the publication process. Good luck and thank you for entrusting your work to PeerJ.
