Frontiers
Open Access Publishing in Frontiers' Journals
The FinELib’s agreement with Frontiers allows participating institutions to benefit from a discount of 10 % on Frontiers’ publication fees (Article Processing Charges, APCs).
The discount applies to APCs paid by participating institutions (i.e. it doesn’t apply to APCs paid individually by authors). All articles will be published under the CC BY licence.

I am eligible, what do I need to do?
Frontiers will identify your eligibility:
-
Based on your invoice selection (Choose Payer → Click "Frontiers institutional members" → Start typing the name of your organization and select the correct one from the list.)
-
Based on your affiliation details (corresponding author's first affiliation)
-
Based on your email domain (official domain of your institution)
