The University of Aberdeen has formed an open access publishing agreement under the national agreement in the UK agreed between Jisc Collections and Frontiers.
The University of Aberdeen supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. As part of this support, the University has agreed to become another participating organisation of the Jisc-Frontiers national agreement. Under this scheme, the University of Aberdeen Libraries will cover article processing charges (APCs) for eligible articles by its researchers published in any Frontiers journal and with a simplified and streamlined process.Authors of eligible articles are relieved from responsibilities of the payment process handled directly between Frontiers and the Libraries. Furthermore, the University of Aberdeen and its authors will benefit from a discount on APCs for articles covered by this agreement as well as improved insight into open access uptake and expenditures through detailed reports provided by Frontiers.
This agreement will further encourage the University of Aberdeen’s authors to publish open access, increasing uptake of open access to the results of mostly publicly funded research, to the benefit of the scholarly community and the public at large, while reducing costs.
