Open access publisher PeerJ has announced that it will host the conference output for the Third Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance Research Conference and Workshop (GIGA III) in a PeerJ Collection. The conference is being held from October 19 - 21, 2018 in Curaçao.
In addition, PeerJ will be acknowledging students and early career researchers by sponsoring a 'Best Contribution Award' at the conference. The winner, who will be chosen by the participants and the conference organising committee for having the best paper or presentation, will receive a complimentary PeerJ paper (upon submission and acceptance through normal peer review system - a $1095 value) and an interview on the PeerJ site about their research.
PeerJ hosts a number of Collections for different research themes and conferences. All conference outputs (including articles, preprints, abstracts, presentations, etc) can be easily added to the Collection the moment they are published. In this way, the Collection can grow over time without any added delay.
PeerJ publishes two open access, peer-reviewed publications PeerJ serving the Biological, Medical and Environmental sciences and PeerJ Computer Science. In addition, it published PeerJ Preprints which is an innovative 'preprint server' covering Biology, Medical, Environmental and Computer Science. PeerJ aims to drive the costs of publishing down for the academic community, while improving the overall publishing experience and providing authors with a publication venue suitable for the 21st Century.
