The University of Nottingham 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 University of Nottingham, a leading research-intensive university in the UK, has joined PeerJ as an Annual Institutional Member (AIM). This partnership represents a significant commitment to open access publishing and scientific advancement.
Through this Annual Institutional Membership, University of Nottingham researchers are able to to publish an unlimited number of peer-reviewed articles in PeerJ’s journal portfolio without paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). Authors with a recognised University of Nottingham email – including those from campuses in Malaysia and China – and are the Corresponding or Administrating author of the article, will be automatically eligible to publish without having to pay any publication fees.

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.
