PeerJ celebrates 5 years of publishing with an editorial reboot and full fee waivers in February

lkfitz's bookmarks 2018-02-01

Summary:

"The month of February marks five years since we published our first peer-reviewed article in PeerJ – February 12th to be exact (and coincidentally shared with Charles Darwin’s birthday). To celebrate we are waiving all publication fees to any February submission to either PeerJ or PeerJ Computer Science.*

One more announcement – after five years of publishing and countless discussions with authors, reviewers and editors we’re giving the editorial model of PeerJ a ‘reboot’ that incorporates more community involvement. The one hundred plus subject areas will be grouped into about 12 sections, each with between 12-50 Academic Editors and 2 to 4 Section Editors leading it. The new Section Editor role is made up of experienced editors who are also full-time academics."
