Publish, share, and discover. At no cost to you.

If your university or institution is of the 670+ that partners with Frontiers, you can benefit from a streamlined experience and unlimited open access publishing. Your publishing fees are partially or completely covered, depending on the agreement. And with our flat fee agreements you don't even have the administration of handling an invoice - we've got it covered.

How it works:

  • We partner with your institution with an annual all-inclusive publishing fee

  • You and your colleagues can submit an unlimited number of manuscripts - just submit and go

  • After a transparent peer review, your work is published open access, maximizing its reach
