Mission statement

The Peer Review Journal (PRJ) is a new innovative electronic portal to publicize articles and communications emanating from discoveries, ideas and imagination of individuals or groups seeking to advance life and the planet we live on. The journal has been set up to overcome what the editors believe is the increasing difficulty to publicize and view peer review articles. With excessively long publication date from time of article submission to restricted access to viewing of full publications, the editors have set up the PRJ to ensure 30-day publication from submission time and unrestricted free access to all articles. Open access publication of the tiny steps of mankind advancement should be not be restricted to closed societies and money availability, as the editorial board believe this is completely contrary to the concept of peer review publication.
