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 organization 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 organization 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 supports of communication, then a representative of your organization 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 supports of communication.

→ If your organization would like to join the list of bodies already supporting PCI, and provide symbolic support for PCI (including the display of the organization’s logo on PCI communication support), then a representative of your organization 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 and transparent peer reviews and editorial decisions.

It is essential that these archives help readers to identify more easily the articles that have been peer-reviewed.

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 organization financed by public funds. Your financial support will help us to cover the functioning 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 according to a “pay what you can” annual fee model (our donors currently provide between €150 and €10,000). This support also includes allowing PCI to display the organization’s logo on the PCI websites and other supports of communication.
