The Max Planck Society has joined the PeerJ AIMs program, providing unlimited, APC-free publishing for their institutes’ authors to ensure their research is made openly available

We are excited to welcome the latest member of the PeerJ AIMs program, the Max Planck Society.

About the Max Planck Society

The Max Planck Society operates a number of research institutions in Germany as well as internationally. Financed by the national government and federal states of Germany, the Max Planck Society engages in basic research in the public interest. Making its scientists’ research findings available for the benefit of the whole of humanity, free of charge whenever possible (Open Access), is a key aspiration of the Society. The Max Planck Society is a co-founder of the international Open Access movement. The publication of the “Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities” on 22 October 2003 and the subsequent annual conferences heralded the introduction of a process that heightened awareness around the theme of accessibility to scientific information.
