The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Frontiers have formed an institutional membership agreement for open access publishing. Under the terms of this agreement, UC Davis-affiliated corresponding authors will benefit from a 7.5% membership discount on article processing charges (APCs) when publishing in any of Frontiers’ open access journals, irrespective of what fund covers the APC.
The 7.5% discount will apply for an initial period from May 29, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (reference date is the article acceptance date), and UC Davis and Frontiers are planning for continuation and development of this collaboration thereafter.
The discount will be automatically applied if UC Davis-affiliated corresponding authors submit manuscripts with a UC Davis institutional email address. If they submit via another email domain, but they indicate UC Davis as the affiliation on the paper, Frontiers will verify eligibility for the discount with the UC Davis Library.
This agreement will further encourage UC Davis authors to publish open access, increasing uptake of open access for fellow researchers and the public at large to the results of mostly publicly funded research, while reducing costs.
