The Oceanário de Lisboa has joined the PeerJ AIMs program, providing unlimited, APC-free publishing for their authors to ensure their research is made openly available
We are pleased to announce that the Oceanário de Lisboa has joined PeerJ as an Annual Institutional Member (AIM). This partnership marks a significant step in advancing open access publishing in marine biology and ocean conservation research.
By becoming a PeerJ Annual Institutional Member, the Oceanário de Lisboa demonstrates its commitment to open science and the dissemination of critical marine research. This membership allows researchers affiliated with the Oceanário to publish an unlimited number of peer-reviewed articles in PeerJ’s journal portfolio without paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). Authors are required to make a pre-submission eligibility check, which will be reviewed by the Oceanário de Lisboa membership manager.
About the Oceanário de Lisboa

A PeerJ Annual Institutional Membership (AIM) provides unlimited, frictionless OA publishing for institutional partners and their faculty. Simple to manage, easy to purchase and providing great cost saving opportunities, researchers will never have to worry about having to pay an APC, and librarians can say goodbye to the administrative overhead of dealing with payments on an article by article basis.
AIMs pricing is tiered and based on an institution’s publishing history in PeerJ’s journal portfolio. When a partner’s renewal is calculated, if the equivalent APC cost would have been less than the Membership fee, they can choose to carry over the difference towards their Membership renewal, or contribute to PeerJ’s Global Publishing Fund, which supports authors without the means to publish OA. AIMs simplify OA and are an important step towards a non-APC future of globally equitable access to read and publish open science.
Institutions who are interested in AIMs should contact PeerJ.
