University of Oxford partnership

The University of Oxford supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. This agreement will further encourage University of Oxford 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.

This institutional partnership agreement means that eligible researchers at the University of Oxford with funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), Wellcome Trust (WT), or UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) can publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to themselves and benefit from a simplified process.

Are you eligible?

To qualify for this arrangement, the following criteria must be met:

• The corresponding author must be affiliated with the University of Oxford.

• The corresponding author must use their University of Oxford email address during the submission process.

• The article must acknowledge funding from one of the following: UKRI, Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK, or the British Heart Foundation.

Please note that block grant funding does not cover monographs, book chapters, edited collections, or invited/commissioned articles.

Corresponding authors who do not meet the funding criteria may be eligible for a 10% discount. In such cases, the corresponding author will be responsible for covering the remaining 90% of the publication cost. If you wish to proceed, please continue with the submission process. A member of the Oxford OA Payments Team will contact you once the article has been matched to the dashboard.
