PeerJ is an open access peer-reviewed scientific mega journal covering research in the biological and medical sciences. It is published by a company of the same name that was co-founded by CEO Jason Hoyt (formerly at Mendeley) and publisher Peter Binfield (formerly at PLOS ONE), with financial backing of US$950,000 from O'Reilly Media and O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures. It was officially launched in June 2012, started accepting submissions on December 3, 2012, and published its first articles on February 12, 2013. The company is a member of CrossRef,CLOCKSS,ORCID, and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association. The company's offices are in Corte Madera (California), and London.
PeerJ uses a business model that differs both from traditional publishers – in that no subscription fees are charged to its readers – and from the major open-access publishers in that the publication fees are levied not per article but per publishing researcher and at a much lower level.PeerJ is complemented by a preprint service named PeerJ Preprints which launched on April 3, 2013. The low costs are in part achieved by using cloud infrastructure: both PeerJ and PeerJ Preprints run on Amazon EC2, with the content stored on Amazon S3.
