Nature Cover

Nobel laureates endorse Frontiers in Nature magazine

Frontiers was featured on the inside cover of Nature, published on 4 July 2013, with endorsements from Nobel laureates and other leading scientists. The magazine also includes an interview with Frontiers’ co-founder and CEO, Dr. Kamila Markram, a neuroscientist from the renowned Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL).

In 2013, Frontiers joined the Nature Publishing Group family in a strategic alliance to advance Open Science. The Frontiers Open-Science platform, which facilitates open-access publishing with a research networking platform, empowers researchers to advance the way science is evaluated, communicated and shared.
