Publishing fees
Open Access provides free and immediate online access to the scholarly literature for anyone in the world to read, distribute and reuse. Frontiers, as a Gold Open Access publisher, offsets all the costs associated with our high-quality publishing service through Article Processing Charges (APCs): articles that are accepted for publication by our external editors following rigorous peer review incur a publishing fee charged to authors, institutions, or funders.

Authors and institutions with insufficient funding will be eligible for discounts to their APC.

Your request for a fee support will in no way influence whether your submission is accepted or rejected for publication.
National and institutional payment plans
Frontiers works with research institutions, libraries, consortia, and funders to support authors who want to publish in a Frontiers journal. A central invoicing platform removes the burden from authors and helps contribute to the growing number of research articles that are openly available to all. Organizations can become institutional members via individual agreements, or (national) consortium agreements.
We currently have eight national consortia agreements and partnerships with more than 650 institutions across the world who support the Frontiers editorial program. Check if your institution has a payment plan with us.
