PeerJ Computer Science is the new open access journal covering all subject areas in computer science, with the backing of a heavyweight advisory board and more than 300 academic editors.

We've spoken with many in the computer science community, and what we found was that authors want faster and more open routes to publishing their research. PeerJ Computer Science is designed to solve those frustrations by bringing a 21st Century publishing platform to the computer science community.

    Nothing that has an advisory board can ever claim to be open access. Thanks for lying.

      "Open access" means that the articles are not paywalled, and under an open license. It doesn't mean that it will publish everything you send them. Indeed, filtering the articles is the main purpose a journal has these days. If you want arXiv, you should know where to find it.

    Hey, this isn't social science, it's computer science, and computer science is a solitary endeavor. PeerJ is for posers, not true computer scientists. Rename journal to PoserJ immediately.

      Can't we just network these computers the scientists are using?

    So the race to the bottom of publishing is now $99...

    That's a really annoying amount of money because its barely enough to run a business or even pay for bandwidth and colo servers, yet its enough that you're going to have Chinese / Indian style pay for play because its hard to turn down a hundred bucks of revenue.

      Don't forget about reputation though. That seems to be something that a journal can't just buy or invent.

        It looks very promising. Also:

        …we anticipate publishing our first articles in April 2015.
