PeerJ has partnered with Agorà, the Scientific Society of Aesthetic Medicine, to launch an Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine Hub.
Agorà is a renowned leader in aesthetic medical education and research. The partnership with award-winning Open Access publisher PeerJ aims to advance the fields of aesthetic and regenerative medicine, providing a collaborative environment for cutting-edge research with practical applications.
The Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine Hub combines research articles published in PeerJ Life & Environment with an array of tools and programs to support and develop a vibrant research community. Any researcher will be able to join the Hub Community and submit their research to the Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine Hub, but joining Agorà unlocks additional benefits both in the Hub, and as a member of a growing international society.
“This partnership signifies a pivotal opportunity to enhance the impact of our community’s research. By leveraging PeerJ’s robust publishing infrastructure, we aim to facilitate greater accessibility to high-quality, Open Access publication across the Aesthetic Medicine and Regenerative Medicine sectors.Our national and international collaborators are enthusiastic about this new initiative.” said Claudio Plebani, General Secretary of Agorà.
This collaboration marks the launch of the second PeerJ Hub, following on from the success of the IABO Hub, created in collaboration with the International Association for Biological Oceanography. The third PeerJ Hub will launch in October.
PeerJ Hubs are a new vision for society and association publishing. Built on top of PeerJ’s existing infrastructure and journal portfolio, Hubs provide a submission portal for partner societies and research associations, with editorial guidance and oversight provided by their members. Peer review is managed by PeerJ, and articles are published in PeerJ’s existing portfolio, giving immediate access to high quality, indexed journals with established reputations and metrics.
“We are delighted to partner with Agorà to launch their Hub, and are excited to welcome researchers and practitioners from the aesthetic and regenerative medicine community to PeerJ. We share Agorà’s vision to provide an open and collaborative platform for this growing area of research and practice, and to showcase the development of cutting edge approaches and globally recognised best practice,” said Nathaniel Gore, PeerJ’s Director of Communities.
PeerJ welcomes discussions with other scholarly societies and associations who are interested in launching their own Hub. Hub partners can choose from a range of editorial and benefit models, including discounted APCs for their members and a unique cooperative model based on PeerJ’s Tokens program.
