Arctic Frontiers Hub: A New Partnership between PeerJ and Arctic Frontiers

We are excited to announce the launch of our latest PeerJ Hub – https://peerj.com/hubs/arcticfrontiers – in collaboration with Arctic Frontiers.

Arctic Frontiers is a catalyst for decision-making, mobilizing key voices of science, policy, business, and local Arctic communities, to rapidly turn knowledge into actions. Since 2007, it has organized the annual Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromsø, which gathers scientists, businesses, policymakers and representatives of local and indigenous peoples for holistic discussions about the future of the Arctic region.

The Arctic Frontiers Hub will showcase the latest research focussing on the Arctic region. Presubmissions will be assessed for community relevance by a dedicated Hub Editorial Team, with full submissions peer reviewed by the PeerJ Life & Environment journal.

“We are excited to work with PeerJ and offer this publication platform for scientists and researchers. Science and knowledge are the foundation of all that we do at Arctic Frontiers. Evidence-based solutions are needed for the Arctic, so thank you for being a part of that. The Hub will provide a community, support and benefits for those who wish to publish their work to an interdisciplinary audience with an interest in the Arctic. The broad scope of the PeerJ Life & Environment journal will also allow many early career scientists to publish their work with a discounted publication cost.” Anu Fredrikson, Arctic Frontiers Executive Director.

The Arctic Frontiers Hub is the third Hub launched by Open Access publisher PeerJ. All researchers working in Arctic life science are welcome to submit to the Arctic Frontiers Hub.

“We are thrilled to partner with Arctic Frontiers to launch their Hub and share their vision of fostering an open, collaborative platform for Arctic research. The Arctic is a region of global importance, and research in this area is crucial. We are honored to support Arctic Frontiers and this vital ecosystem with a PeerJ Hub” Gavin Morrison, Editorial Community Manager at PeerJ.
