The power of open access

As one of the world's leading open-access publishers, we believe in the transformative power of open science. Articles published with us are free and permanently accessible worldwide - so anyone can benefit from the discoveries, not just a selection of researchers.

• Your article will be freely and permanently available immediately after publication, ensuring maximum reach, impact, and visibility.

• More scientists can read the results of your research, including the wider public unable to access the information because they lack a subscription.

• Open access improves the quality of your research through open, transparent, and reproducible practices made available to a global audience. 

Are you a researcher at IIASA?

Frontiers works with research institutions, libraries, consortia and funders to improve support for researchers publishing open access. We work to: 

• reduce administrative time for authors and institutions by centralizing communications and streamlining submission and payment workflows. 

• release authors from some/all responsibility for article publishing charges (APCs) - contact your institution or librarian for full details. 

• simplify the submissions process to ensure authors are able to submit their work quickly and easily with step-by-step support.

Are you eligible?

To be eligible under the partnership, you need to ensure:

• the corresponding author is an affiliated IIASA author at the time of submission.

• The corresponding author used their IIASA-affiliated email address at the time of submission.

For more information, contact repsitory@iiasa.ac.at.

Not an affiliated author?

We collaborate with over 700 institutions across the world. If you want to join them, tell your librarian about Frontiers institutional plans - just submit our recommendation form.
