Our institutional partnership plans

Agreements that support sustainable open access to science for both institutions and researchers

We're committed to simplifying our institutional partnerships, ensuring that more researchers than ever can benefit from open access publishing. As your trusted partner we provide access to high-quality journals and a platform to help you maximize your impact.

Our payment models offer a flexible, cost-effective, and predictable approach to managing your institution's publishing activities - allowing you to focus more time on disseminating impactful research.

Find the right payment plan for you

Not all partner institutions have the same financial resources or funding structures. Our payment models accommodate these differences by allowing you to choose the funding approach that aligns with your financial situation and goals.

Each model provides a unique way to reduce the burden on researchers by eliminating the need to handle individual APC payments.

Our fully open flat fee model

Launched in 2023, Frontiers' flat fee model complements our well-proven metered central invoicing models offered through our institutional partnerships program.

This new approach allows for the enablement of improved open access budget planning with a single, predictable annual fee, reducing administrative work for your institution while providing unlimited open-access publication for your researchers.
