PeerJ is an Open Access scholarly publisher in the Biological and Medical Sciences.

The company has two publications - a journal named PeerJ and a preprint server called PeerJ PrePrints. PeerJ will receive its first submissions in Summer 2012, with first publications following by the end of 2012.
The UK-based Future Science Group (FSG) is an alliance of three sister imprints – Expert Reviews Ltd, Future Medicine Ltd, and Future Science Ltd. FSG provides research professionals and clinicians with a unique source of objective, cutting-edge information on emerging and evolving trends in science and medicine.
The American Society of Plant Biologists was founded in 1924 to promote the growth and development of plant biology, to encourage and publish research in plant biology, and to promote the interests and growth of plant scientists in general. Over the decades the Society has evolved and expanded to provide a forum for molecular and cellular biology as well as to serve the basic interests of plant science. It publishes the highly cited journals Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell. Membership spans six continents, and members work in such diverse areas as academia, government laboratories, and industrial and commercial environments.
Channel View Publications is an international, independent academic publisher based in the UK. They publish work on tourism and sustainability as Channel View Publications, and on multilingualism, language learning, translation and creative writing pedagogy as Multilingual Matters.
