eLife is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal for the biomedical and life sciences. It was sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Max Planck Society, and Wellcome Trust following a workshop held in 2010 at the Janelia Farm Research Campus. It was established at the end of 2012[1][2] and made its initial articles available by posting them on PubMed Central, [3] which has seen criticism.[4] In the first year the journal published 287 papers, of which 182 were research papers, 71 were "insights", and 12 were corrections.[5]

The editor-in-chief is Randy Schekman (University of California, Berkeley).[6]
