The journal Acta Virologica will move to gold open access publisher Frontiers in April, as part of an agreement signed by the Institute of Virology from the Biomedical Research Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (BMC SAS).
The agreement is Frontiers’ first publishing partnership in Slovakia and marks an important step forward for open access in the field of virology.
Acta Virologica is an international journal focusing mainly on molecular and cellular virology, publishing fundamental research related to human, animal, and plant viruses. Areas of interest range from the morphology of viruses to vaccines and antiviral drugs.
Established in 1957, the journal was previously published under a hybrid model by AEPress. Acta Virologica will open for submissions on Frontiers’ fully open-access platform in spring 2023.
Acta Virologica joins Frontiers’ growing community of publishing partners in the biomedical sciences. In late 2022, both the Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine announced new partnerships with Frontiers, adding to the deal with the British Journal of Biomedical Science.
