Spanish National Research Council partnership

Our renewed partnership with the Spanish National Research Council — Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) — makes publishing faster and easier for researchers.

Under the agreement, corresponding authors affiliated with the CSIC's participating universities and research centers will benefit from a 25% discount on article publishing charges (APCs) when publishing in any of Frontiers’ open access journals. 

Are you eligible?

To be eligible under the partnership, ensure:

• the affiliated author is the corresponding author.

• the corresponding author must be affiliated with a CSIC institution.

• the corresponding author uses their institutional email address.

Check with your library if the eligibility criteria apply to you or your co-authors, since each institution determines its support allocations without input from Frontiers. For further assistance, CSIC researchers can contact: ayudasopenaccess@bib.csic.es.

The right journal for your research

Choosing the right journal is crucial for your research to reach the right audience. At Frontiers, we offer over 222 community-driven journals, spanning more than 1,700 academic specialties, many of which directly support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

• Your article will be freely and permanently available immediately after publication, ensuring maximum reach, impact, and visibility.

• More scientists can read the results of your research, including the wider public unable to access the information because they lack a subscription.

• Open access improves the quality of your research through open, transparent, and reproducible practices made available to a global audience.
