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.

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.
