The European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), in collaboration with Frontiers, has announced the transition of Transplant International from Hybrid access to Gold Open Access. Transplant International is the premier journal publishing the key basic science and clinical developments in organ replacement medicine. The journal will transfer to Frontiers’ Open Science Platform from January 1, 2022.
Frontiers and ESOT’s leadership committees and stakeholders will work closely to transition the journal, including its extensive archive of articles, which dates back to 1989. All articles will be immediately, permanently, and freely available to read, download and access for people everywhere. Authors will retain copyright and published articles will be compliant with Plan S.
For more than thirty years ESOT, the leading community for all transplant professionals and patients, has been committed to advancing research and clinical practice in the field of organ transplantation. They aim to improve the lives of everyone affected and optimise the outcome of organ transplantation, with a growing attention to emerging techniques of organ regeneration. The transition of Transplant International to Gold Open Access with Frontiers will continue to drive this mission, by allowing all researchers, surgeons, and clinicians across the globe to access the important research the journal publishes.
The ESOT chose Frontiers due to their experience in transitioning society journals to Open Access. Since the start of last year, nine society journals have partnered with Frontiers, including the Geological Society of London, European Hernia Society (EHS), and the Swiss School of Public Health amongst others.
