The University of Sussex is committed to the principles of open access publishing and fully supports open access initiatives such as PeerJ. The University of Sussex is taking part in PeerJ’s Three-Year Membership Program. Thanks to this partnership, authors affiliated with Sussex are eligible for a free three-year membership with PeerJ, which means that there will be no out-of-pocket fees for Sussex authors to publish in any of PeerJ’s seven journals.

At any time during the membership period, authors may publish up to three articles with PeerJ. For example, they may publish three articles in the first year of their membership or two articles their first year and one in their third.

When your article has been accepted for publication, University of Sussex affiliated authors should return to this page to submit a claim for a Three Year Membership and complete the email verification.

If you have any questions, please email openaccess@sussex.ac.uk or see the University’s Open Access pages at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/library/openaccess.

All co-authors on a paper must have a valid PeerJ Membership to publish.
