| PeerJ Newsletter | | |  | Supporting the Next Generation: PeerJ Awards for Early Career Researchers We're proud to champion emerging scientific talent through our sponsorship of early career researcher awards at conferences worldwide.
This year, PeerJ supported awards at the Asian Society of Ichthyologists and Indo-Pacific Fish Conference (ASI & IPFC 12), the upcoming Southern African Society of Aquatic Scientists conference 2025, and the EHBEA 2025 Conference at Northumbria University, where the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association explored human behavior through evolutionary frameworks.
Through these partnerships, PeerJ continues investing in the future of scientific discovery, ensuring early career researchers receive the recognition they deserve. | | | | |  | Simplify Open Access with PeerJ Annual Institutional Memberships Ready to publish freely? Transform your institution's research publishing with PeerJ's Annual Institutional Memberships (AIMs) – a simple flat-fee solution that provides unlimited Open Access publishing across our entire journal portfolio.
If you're a researcher whose institution doesn't yet have an AIMs partnership, speak with your library or research office about this valuable opportunity. For institutions interested in transforming their publishing strategy, contact our partnerships team to discover how AIMs can eliminate publishing barriers and empower your faculty's success. | | | | |  | PeerJ Research Making Headlines Our authors' research continues capturing global media attention, demonstrating the real-world impact of open access science.
