Our institutional payment options
We offer flexible and entirely predictable payment models for all institutional partners. These plans ensure that you can allocate resources effectively while supporting open-access initiatives.
Our models offer a flexible and cost-effective approach to managing your institution's publishing activities, allowing you to focus more on disseminating impactful research.
Accommodate the growth in the number of articles published and scale your participation without financial strain.
Reduce the financial barriers preventing you from engaging in open-access publishing.
Experiment with different approaches to open-access funding. Our new and innovative financial models improve the overall sustainability of open-access publishing.
The right plan for you
Not all partner institutions have the same financial resources or funding structures. Our institutional payment models accommodate these differences by allowing institutions to choose the funding approach that aligns with their financial situation and goals.
Each institutional model provides a unique way to reduce the burden on researchers by eliminating the need to handle individual APC payments.
Fully OA flat fee model
Piloted in 2023, the Frontiers flat fee model complements Frontiers' well-proven metered central invoicing models offered through our institutional partnerships program.
This new approach allows for the enablement of improved open access budget planning with a single, predictable annual fee, reducing administrative work for your institution while providing unlimited open-access publication for your researchers.
