Open-access publisher Frontiers has announced that the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN (Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire), will centrally cover article processing charges (APCs) for eligible articles by its researchers published in any Frontiers journal. Furthermore, CERN will benefit from a 10% membership discount on APCs for articles covered by this arrangement.
Before submission, authors are required to send a message to open-access-questions@cern.ch to start the administrative procedure for the payment. All articles with at least one CERN-affiliated author are eligible for central CERN funding to cover the APC under this agreement.
Authors should ensure that ‘European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)’ is selected as institutional payer in the invoice section when submitting their article to Frontiers (this is particularly important if the CERN author is not the corresponding author). Frontiers will then verify the eligibility with CERN and, if confirmed, the APC (minus the discount) will be paid by CERN upon acceptance.
