Frontiers Institutional Agreements
Frontiers works with research institutions, libraries, consortia, and funders to improve the ways researchers are supported when publishing open access. Organisations can become institutional members via individual agreements, or (national) consortium agreements. Details of each agreement, including information for authors, can be found below via the organisation's name. Consortium-wide as well as individual institutional agreements simplify the process for authors wishing to publish in Frontiers journals and help contribute to the growing number of research articles that are openly available to all. For more details, institutions can get in touch with their consortium and/or email institutions@frontiersin.org.
National and consortium agreements
Frontiers pioneered fully transparent, national agreements for Open Access publishing for research organizations and their researchers. If they have not done so already, institutions can become members by joining the (national) consortium agreement applicable.
