University of Arizona (UA) Libraries held an institutional membership trial agreement with Frontiers, enabling UA-affiliated corresponding authors to benefit from a 7.5 percent membership discount on article processing charges (APCs) until the end of 2019.
The collaboration has now been further formalised and extended. Starting in 2020 UA-affiliated corresponding authors, when publishing in any of Frontiers’ (currently) over 80 journals (which are all fully open access), will enjoy a 10 percent membership discount on APCs. The new agreement is effective March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 (reference date is the article acceptance date).
All other arrangements (data reports to the Libraries, verification process) stay the same, and for quick and automated application of the discount, authors are asked to submit their manuscripts using their University of Arizona institutional email address.
