The University of Bath has joined the national open access deal agreed between Jisc Collections and Frontiers. This landmark deal provides a simplified and streamlined route to open-access publishing for researchers in the UK, who publish 7% of the world’s research.
This institutional agreement means that eligible University of Bath researchers may publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to them and with a simplified process. Articles may benefit from a 10% membership discount.
The University of Bath Library supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. This agreement will further encourage University of Bath researchers to publish open access, increasing the volume of research openly available. While this reduces costs for the researcher, it also benefits the wider research community and the public at large.
A University of Bath researcher may select University of Bath in the payment information section (“Frontiers institutional members”) when submitting their article. Frontiers will verify their eligibility with the library and, if confirmed, the APC will be paid by the University of Bath upon acceptance.
