Frontiers in Immunology: New Field Chief Editor takes the Helm

Frontiers announces the appointment of Professor Luigi Notarangelo, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, as the new Field Chief Editor for Frontiers in Immunology, effective on July 13, 2016. Professor Luigi Notarangelo, a world renowned expert in primary immunodeficiencies, has agreed to expand his role in the Journal from his current function as Specialty Chief Editor of the Primary Immunodeficiency section of Frontiers in Immunology.  His numerous scientific achievements include the identification of gene defects that contribute to severe combined immune deficiencies (SCID) and the development of novel treatment for children severely affected by congenital immunodeficiencies. In addition to his scientific research, Professor Notarangelo plays an active role in many professional societies, including being the President of the European Society for Immune Deficiencies from 2002-2006 and of the Clinical Immunology Society in 2015-2016, and co-chairing the Committee on Primary Immunodeficiencies of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). We also thank our outgoing and founding Field Chief Editor for the Journal, Professor Kendall Smith from Weill Medical College of Cornell University for his years of service to the community. Publishing across 18 specialty sections, including such multidisciplinary subject areas as Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy, Frontiers in Immunology now has over 2500 editors from top institutions all over […]

Frontiers 2nd Editors’ Summit: Science for sustainability

“Rapid and open dissemination of articles is necessary for the global change needed in the world’s urgent sustainability crisis. Frontiers empowers scientists in the publishing process to accelerate research communication and dissemination;” explained Kamila Markram, co-founder and CEO of Frontiers, in her opening speech at our 2nd annual Editors’ Summit. On the weekend of June 18-19, over 40 Frontiers Editors from around the world gathered at Champéry, Switzerland, to discuss their work over the past year and look into the future of academic publishing, dissemination of knowledge and the role researchers play in helping to solve the global problems the world is facing today. The theme of this year’s Summit was global sustainability. The EU announced that all research must be made freely available by 2020, and the group learned how open access will save billions of dollars of funding money, create waves of disruption, and lead to positive change including economic growth and wider, interdisciplinary scientific solutions to the global crisis. However, it was the cost of traditional publishers’ rejection cascade that stirred up emotions when the group discussed how much time and money is wasted in just one year due to needless rejections of perfectly correct research articles – and […]

IDeM wins first-ever Actúaloop awards

“Your research does not finish with your publication;” explained Alvaro Alonso from the team who created IDeM, the winner of the Actúaloop awards held on 23 June in Madrid. The awards celebrated the talent of six inspiring teams who created new applications to help researchers improve their work using the research network Loop‘s APIs. The teams all came from the Technical University of Madrid, who worked for nine months on the projects. The six finalists were: IDeM, Journal Advisor, ARES, Smart Protocols, LoopApp and Frontiers translate. The top three winners were: First prize – IDeM Second prize – Journal Advisor Third prize – ARES Each team gave a presentation of their project ahead of the awards. The IDeM team explained that researchers use many tools in their research from presentations to multimedia. Through IDeM, Loop users could add videos and slides, as well as have live web conferencing with other researchers. Journal Advisor helps researchers pick which journal to submit their work to, and ARES gives researchers easier access to equipment for their work. Frontiers Translate, a community translation app, received a special award as the team was only in their first year of university. Kamila Markram, the co-founder and CEO of […]
