Lifetime Memberships
We started memberships because it shouldn't cost thousands to publish Open Access. If you publish frequently then see how you can benefit from a membership.
APCs
Publishing can cost thousands in many comparable Open Access journals. Even subscription journals can charge thousands for figures.
PeerJ APC fees start at $895 and discounts provided for active reviewers.
