University of Koblenz partnership

The university library of University of Koblenz supports its researchers in making their research more widely available.

This agreement will further encourage University of Koblenz 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.  

This institutional partnership agreement means that eligible University of Koblenz researchers may publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to them and with a simplified process.

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 University of Koblenz?

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 submission process to ensure authors can submit their work quickly and easily with step-by-step support.
