University of Sao Francisco has formed an institutional membership agreement for open access publishing with Frontiers.  

This institutional agreement means that eligible University of Sao Francisco researchers may publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to them and with a simplified process.  Articles may benefit from a 5% membership discount.  

The university library University of Sao Francisco supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. This agreement will further encourage University of Sao Francisco researchers to publish open access, increasing the volume of research openly available. While this reduces costs for the researcher, it also benefits the wider research community and the public at large.    

For more information on Frontiers’ institutional agreements please visit our institutional memberships page or contact institutions@frontiersin.org to discuss the possibilities for your own organization.   

 Information for researchers   

If you are a University of Sao Francisco researcher, please select University of Sao Francisco in the payment information section (“Frontiers institutional members”) when submitting your article.
