The University of Kansas and open science platform Frontiers have renewed their open-access publishing partnership for an additional year. Initially established in 2024, this agreement maintains its terms to provide KU researchers with seamless, cost-free access to publish in all Frontiers journals.
Through 2025, corresponding authors affiliated with KU’s Lawrence and Edwards campuses will continue to enjoy unlimited publishing across Frontiers’ portfolio of 229 open-access journals, with article publishing charges (APCs) fully covered by the partnership.
By continuing with the flat fee model, the University of Kansas will provide:
• Unlimited publishing opportunities for affiliated researchers.
• Simplified budgeting with a predictable and transparent fixed annual cost.
• Reduced administrative responsibilities for library and research staff.
• Full support for open-access principles, including immediate access under CC-BY licensing and author-retained copyrights.
To be eligible under the partnership, researchers need to ensure that the corresponding author is affiliated with KU and that they use their institutional email address when submitting the manuscript. This renewed partnership highlights the shared commitment to advancing open science and empowering researchers to focus on discovering and disseminating knowledge.
