National and institutional agreements
Improving the way researchers are supported to publish
National agreements
We pioneered fully transparent national agreements to improve the ways researchers are supported when publishing open access.
Our agreements simplify the process for authors publishing in Frontiers' journals and help contribute to the growing number of research articles that are openly available to all.
As of 2022 we had 8 national agreements in place, with Austria, Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Qatar, Switzerland, Sweden, and the UK.

Institutional partnerships
Our institutional partnerships streamline the funding process for researchers and institutions. This means that authors are released from some or all of the responsibility for article processing charges when they publish with us.
We now have 658 institutional partners – including 136 new partners who joined the program in 2022. They include:

Supporting the transition to open access
Our publishing partnerships enable societies to transition their journals to open access, while benefiting from our state-of-the-art platform.
We established seven new partnerships with societies and other organizations in 2022 – including the European Journal of Cultural Management and Policy (EJCMP), the journal of the European Network on Cultural Management and Policy. EJCMP is the first journal in the humanities field to transition to Frontiers under the gold open access model, marking a significant step for both partners.
In 2022, we increased the number of open access articles published in partner journals from 312 to more than 800 – an increase of 156% – as well as unlocking access to over 6,000 archived articles.
“We chose Frontiers for their open access expertise, systems, and flexibility – all of which are being delivered upon. Moreover, we are particularly enjoying working with their friendly and creative team”
