Frontiers and Sheffield Hallam University form open access publishing agreement

We are delighted to announce that Sheffield Hallam University has established an institutional membership agreement for open access publishing with Frontiers. Sheffield Hallam University Library supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. As part of this support, Sheffield Hallam University has entered an institutional agreement with Frontiers. Under the terms of this agreement, eligible authors from Sheffield Hallam University may publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to them and with a simplified process. Eligible authors will benefit from a streamlined invoicing process, managed directly between Frontiers and the Library at Sheffield Hallam University, relieving authors of the responsibility of payment. Furthermore, Sheffield Hallam University and its Library will benefit from a discount on Article Processing Charges (APCs) for articles covered by this agreement.

For more details see the newer blog post As part of a trial agreement until the end of 2019, University of Arizona-affiliated corresponding authors will benefit from a 7.5% discount on APCs when publishing in any of Frontiers’ open access journals, irrespective of what fund covers the APC. The 7.5% discount will apply from 12 July 2019 to 31 December 2019 (reference date is the article acceptance date). In addition to the discount, insights into institutional publishing activity are included and regular data reports will be available directly to the University of Arizona Libraries.
