Open access publisher PeerJ has announced that submissions are now open for five new journals dedicated to the Chemical Sciences. Researchers can now submit manuscripts to PeerJ, for peer review, to the journals PeerJ Physical Chemistry, PeerJ Organic Chemistry, PeerJ Inorganic Chemistry, PeerJ Analytical Chemistry, and PeerJ Materials Science.
Over 150 Academic Editors have joined the Editorial Boards to ensure rigorous peer review is overseen by leading experts in these fields. Adding to its existing journals which cover Life & Environmental Sciences, and Computer Science, this expansion presents a significant opportunity to increase the availability of chemistry research as well as broadening the affordable publishing options for chemistry researchers.
As with all other PeerJ articles, the five new journals will publish all articles under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY), the gold standard in open access publications, which allows users to freely and openly share, copy and distribute a work, while at the same time crediting the authors who also retain copyright of their article. PeerJ is waiving all article processing charges in 2019, which means it is entirely free to submit, receive peer review, and publish open access in these subject areas.
In addition to the seven journals, PeerJ also hosts a free preprint server, PeerJ Preprints, for biology, medical, environmental, computer sciences and now chemistry.
