Endorse and financially support PCI
Symbolic sponsorship
Funding agencies, evaluation committees, and doctoral schools
Funding agencies, evaluation committees, and doctoral schools can support PCI by endorsing the following statement: “In all of its work, our organisation considers articles recommended by a Peer Community In to be of the same value and to have the same status as articles published in a high-quality journal in the same discipline”.
→ If your organisation would like to join the list of bodies already supporting PCI, endorse this statement, and allow PCI to display its logo on the PCI websites and other forms of communication, then a representative of your organisation should complete the Endorsement Statement Questionnaire for Evaluation Bodies. You can also contact us directly: contact [ a.t ] peercommunityin [ d.o.t ] org
Research institutions (universities, university departments, institutes, scientific societies, research libraries, etc.)
Research institutions can express their interest in the development of Peer Community In by providing symbolic support to PCI, meaning that they
1) publicly acknowledge the value of the PCI initiative and
2) allow PCI to display their logo on the PCI websites and other forms of communication.
→ If your organisation would like to join the list of bodies already supporting PCI and provide symbolic support for PCI (including the display of the organisation’s logo on PCI communication support), then a representative of your organisation should complete the Symbolic Sponsorship Questionnaire.

Open archives and repositories
The Peer Community In process relies on open archives, preprint servers, and institutional repositories and adds value to their content by providing reliable, transparent peer reviews and editorial decisions.
It is essential that these archives help readers identify articles that have been peer-reviewed more easily.
As an open archive, preprint server, or institutional repository operator, you can support Peer Community In by displaying the link to the recommendation on the webpage of each preprint recommended by a PCI.

Financial support
Peer Community In is a non-commercial not-for-profit organisation financed by public funds. Your financial support will help us to cover the operational costs of the existing communities and to develop the project.
Institutions, universities, libraries, laboratories, or even individuals can provide financial support for Peer Community In through a “pay what you can” annual fee model (our donors currently contribute between €150 and €10,000). This support also includes allowing PCI to display the organisation’s logo on the PCI websites and other forms of communication.
