UK Universities Renew National OA deal with Frontiers

JISC, which undertakes negotiations and licensing for digital content agreements on behalf of UK universities, first signed an agreement with the open access publisher Frontiers in September 2019. This agreement has just been renewed for one year. JISC member universities will benefit from a 10% national discount rate on publication costs. All submitted articles remain subject to Frontiers’ editorial processes, including peer-review, and all accepted articles are published under an open license (CC-BY) that allows authors (or their institutions) to retain copyright.
