PeerJ welcomes the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad, Ecuador, as our latest Member

INABIO joins the AIMs program, providing unlimited, APC-free publishing for their authors to ensure their research is made openly available

We are excited to welcome our first South American member to the AIMs program. Ecuador’s Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad – INABIO – has taken out a PeerJ Membership until the end of the 2025, giving their authors an option to publish in any PeerJ journal without having to pay any publication fees. The Membership ensures that the vital research INABIO carries out can be made openly available to biodiversity researchers in Ecuador and around the world.

INABIO-affiliated authors should complete this short form before submitting, which will allow INABIO staff to verify their eligibility.

INABIO plans, promotes, coordinates and implements research processes related to the field of biodiversity and conservation according to existing environmental policies and applicable legislation. The Institute, under the Ministry of Environment, is responsible for generating knowledge and developing science , technology and innovation that requires the Ecuadorian State to guarantee the conservation of its natural heritage.
