SciComm meet-up in San Francisco March 9

Part of the Frontiers Communication team will be in San Francisco on March 9, and together with swissnex San Francisco, we are hosting a Science Communication Meet-Up at Terroir, one of our favorite wine bars in the city. Whether you are a journalist who writes about the new discoveries or a scientist trying to let the media and other researchers know that you have just published a new exciting discovery, communicating science can be challenging. Let’s break down the boundaries and get to know each other so we can share information. WHO YOU’LL MEET: On March 9, you’ll meet Sandra Hausmann and myself (Michelle Ponto) from Frontiers, an academic publishing company based out Switzerland, and Benjamin Bollmann from swissnex. Sandra is Frontier’s Business Development Manager. She works out of our San Francisco Bureau and can fill you in on the latest innovations in academic publishing, what type of research Frontiers publishes and some of the interesting Research Topics we are excited about. These topics pool the research of scientists around the world and can cover big issues like Alzheimer’s, Zika virus research, climate change adaption, E.coli tracking, robotics and more.  She’s also your go-to person if you are looking for a researcher in your area to interview on a specific topic.

Frontiers APCs: Structure and Rationale

The number of peer-reviewed papers has been growing at a rate of 20% a year, with over 600,000 estimated open-access papers published in 2014. To keep up with demand, Frontiers has developed technological innovations that provide enhanced services and enable dissemination. We have also striven to find ways to remove the obstacles to  publication of sound research by developing a transparent fee structure that links service level to value created. On February 1, 2016, Frontiers introduced a new system for Article Processing Charges (APCs). The new system replaces the flat fee for each of the different article types across all Frontiers journals with a structure where APCs depend on how well the journal is established in the community. Importantly, the structure also takes into account differences in the level of research funding available in various disciplines.  Frontiers APC Structure APCs for Type A articles (Original Research, Review, Classification, Clinical Trial, Hypothesis & Theory, Mechanisms of Disease Reviews, Methods, Protocols and Technology Report) published in well-established journals, several of which achieve amongst the highest citation rates within their academic disciplines, and in disciplines where open-access publishing has strong financial support, have been adjusted accordingly from $1,900 to $2,490. For just under half our journals APCs for Type A […]
