Frontiers is an open access publisher that supports all articles via publishing fees (i.e. US$1,900 for Original Research, Methods, Review, Hypothesis & Theory), which are transparent and competitive in the publishing landscape. To assist all our research communities financially, Frontiers provide the following solutions:
- Frontiers Institutional Agreements: Many international universities have agreements with Frontiers (listed here), where the institution pays all or part of the fees for affiliated researchers. Please check with your Institutional Library if this is applicable to you or your co-authors. Please note that each Institution determines their own support allocations, without input from Frontiers.
- Open-access funding sources: Please check whether you are eligible for any financial support options from this list.
- Frontiers’ Fee support program: Authors can apply for a discount if really needed, and each request is treated individually. The allocations follow strict criteria and consider every applicant’s profile, including the history of publications, country, field, previous support granted, etc. The criteria for discounts are aligned with the classification of low-, mid-, and high-income countries provided by the World Bank. You can fill the Fee Support application online here (preferably, straight after submitting your manuscript).
