PeerJ - Your Peers, Your Science. Academic Publishing is Evolving

PeerJ is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. Initially, it will be publishing Research Articles in the Biological and Medical Sciences. It will aim for rapid decision making and will publish articles as soon as they are ready.

Taking its inspiration from PLoS ONE, PeerJ will select articles based only on a determination of scientific and methodological soundness, not on subjective determinations of 'impact,' 'novelty' or 'interest.' It will apply the highest standards to everything it does - specifically, the publication will place an emphasis on research integrity; high ethical standards; constructive peer-review; exemplary production quality; and leading edge online functionality.
