Frontiers has announced that it is the latest open access publisher to automatically distribute content to institutional repositories via Jisc’s Publications Router service. Having published more than 95,000 articles to date in 61 journals, covering 500 academic disciplines including in Life Sciences, Health, Engineering and Humanities, Frontiers will now deposit content from all these journals into Router for onward delivery to the relevant repositories.
Frontiers now supplies Publications Router with articles as soon as they are published, which in turn deposits them straight into the relevant institutions’ systems. The process is automatic, subject only to the institutions’ standard review. With an average review time of 89 days, institutions are gaining daily access to the latest Frontiers research results quickly and efficiently.
Router transfers the full text version of articles, as well as rich metadata, including article licensing details. At Frontiers, all articles are open-access and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY) with no embargo, allowing free sharing, redistribution and re-use in any medium or format.
In addition to enabling institutions to showcase and disseminate their researchers’ work, this collaboration also demonstrates compliance with various funders’ Open Access policies, notably the policy on Open Access and the REF. This policy requires that research submitted for assessment affecting the institution’s funding level must have been made open access within three months of acceptance for publication.
