Pete Binfield discusses lessons learned from three new academic journals, including PeerJ, and where they are headed next. Key points include that PeerJ pioneered an innovative open access business model and integrated ecosystem. Binfield also notes that high quality academic publishing does not need to be expensive, and that given the right incentives, individuals will try new innovations, even if widespread adoption is slow. Looking ahead, PeerJ plans greater emphasis on questions and answers, more library involvement, and outreach to promote advantages of the journal platform.
