PeerJ, a rapid, peer-reviewed Open Access biological, medical and health sciences journal, has published its first 30 articles. Co-founded by Peter Binfield (formerly of PLoS) and Jason Hoyt (formerly of Mendeley), PeerJ employs a three-tiered lifetime membership model which grants authors one, two, or unlimited publications with PeerJ per year at no additional charge. Membership also requires at least one comment on an article or preprint, or a pre-publication review of a submission to PeerJ, every year.
PeerJ PrePrints, a preprint archive which allows paid members to make preprints public or private, is scheduled to debut in March.
