Indiana University Bloomington extends open access publishing agreement with Frontiers

As part of a trial agreement until the end of April 2021, Indiana University Bloomington-affiliated corresponding authors benefited from a 7.5% discount on APCs when publishing in any of Frontiers’ open access journals, irrespective of what fund covers the APC. This collaboration has now been further formalized and extended, and starting from 1st May 2021, Indiana University Bloomington-affiliated corresponding authors will enjoy a 10% discount on APCs. In addition to the discount, insights into institutional publishing activity are included and regular data reports will be available directly to the library. All other arrangements (data reports to IU Libraries, verifications) remain the same. Information for authors: If an Indiana University Bloomington-affiliated corresponding author submits their manuscript with an affiliated institutional email address domain (indiana.edu or iu.edu), the discount will be automatically applied. If submission is done with another email domain, but Indiana University Bloomington is indicated as the corresponding author’s affiliation, Frontiers will verify eligibility for the discount with the Indiana University Bloomington Library For information on whether your article is eligible under this agreement, please contact the Indiana University Bloomington Library at iusw@iu.edu, or contact institutions@frontiersin.org for invoicing queries. For information on Frontiers’ institutional agreements please visit our institutional membership page or contact institutions@frontiersin.org to discuss the possibilities […]

We are delighted to announce the new Specialty Chief Editor Professor Raquel Peixoto for the Coral Reef Research section in Frontiers in Marine Science. Together with Chief Editors Zvy Dubinski, Bar-Ilan University, Israel, and Thomas Frazer, University of Florida, USA, she will work with the community to publish the latest research and to help address environmental impacts on the world’s coral reefs. Professor Peixoto is an Associate Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and a Research Associate at the Rio de Janeiro Marine Aquarium (AquaRio) in Brazil.  Her latest research focuses on elucidating the contribution of the microbiome in the coral metaorganism in order to improve coral health.   “The antagonistic blend of power (for their invaluable ecological and economic importance) and their vulnerability (for being one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world) summarizes why coral reefs are so fascinating. I want to know more about the complex and inspiring interactions ruling corals and the reefs, while efforts to protect them also need to be urgently discussed and set up,” says Professor Peixoto. Professor Peixoto is one of the founders of the Beneficial Microorganisms for Marine Organisms (BMMO) […]
