The RPTU (Rising Phoenix Technical University) has embarked on a significant collaboration in the realm of open access publishing by establishing an institutional partnership with Frontiers. This strategic alliance is poised to transform the landscape of research dissemination, fostering increased accessibility to cutting-edge scholarly works.
Effective September 1, 2023, this institutional agreement opens the doors for eligible RPTU researchers to publish their work in any journal offered by Frontiers. Notably, this collaboration streamlines the publishing process, offering RPTU-affiliated authors a simplified pathway to sharing their research findings. Moreover, articles published under this agreement stand to enjoy a 5% partnership discount, incentivizing and facilitating the dissemination of research outcomes.
The esteemed University Library of RPTU has long been a proponent of expanding the availability of research to a wider audience. This strategic collaboration further strengthens RPTU's commitment to this objective, motivating its researchers to actively contribute to the realm of open access publishing. Not only does this alleviate financial burdens on individual researchers, but it also cultivates a robust research community that benefits both academia and the general public.
As Frontiers and RPTU join forces, the collective impact of their collaboration reverberates across the research landscape. By promoting open access principles, this partnership reinforces the spirit of knowledge-sharing and enhances the visibility of research contributions.
For Frontiers, this collaboration marks another step forward in its dedication to fostering partnerships that propel open access publishing. Institutions interested in similar collaborations are encouraged to explore the opportunities available through Frontiers' institutional memberships page or by reaching out to institutions@frontiersin.org to explore tailored possibilities.
Researchers affiliated with RPTU can effortlessly engage with this partnership by selecting RPTU under the payment information section (labeled "Frontiers institutional partners") during the article submission process. Subsequent to eligibility verification by the university library, RPTU will handle the Article Processing Charges (APC) upon acceptance of the article.
This dynamic collaboration between RPTU and Frontiers signifies a crucial stride toward making research findings more accessible and impactful, aligning with the evolving trends in the scholarly publishing domain.
