Max Planck Authors can Publish for Free in PeerJ

Posted on by

The Max Planck Society has signed a new open access agreement with PeerJ. This means all MP authors can publish at no costs to themselves in the peer-reviewed journal covering the biological and medical sciences.

PeerJ offers an interesting open access business model, so authors pay for a lifetime publishing plan. The Max Planck Society meets the costs for ‘Enhanced Plans’ (including two articles per year) for accepted MP authors.
