Author Survey Spotlight: What do researchers have to say about PeerJ’s submission system?

What an amazing influx of research articles we received during our 5 Year Celebration last month! PeerJ received over 1500 submissions throughout February 2018 and we are very pleased to have so many scientists experiencing our modern publishing platform.

It is author feedback that inspires us to keep innovating and confirms the reasons why we do what we do. From our early days five years ago to the many submissions we received last month, below is some of the fantastic feedback we’ve received along the way…

What are PeerJ authors saying about our submission system?

“This journal handles software submissions very well.” Veronica Grieneisen

“Thanks for developing a friendly web application to upload and submit a manuscript.” Luis Bautista

“The best part of PeerJ is its layout and user-friendly submission system. Hats off to PeerJ staff for doing such a good work.” Kumar Manish

“As a first-time author, I appreciated the amount of guidance and explanations the submission site gave me. Everything was super user-friendly and straightforward.”

“The interface for submission is very user-friendly and for once submitting the manuscript was a pleasant experience.”
