Open Acesss Publishing: Frontiers

New Open Access Services Guidelines

Frontiers

Open Access Publishing with Frontiers Journals

Khalifa University has reached an agreement with Frontiers that will allow KU authors to publish journal articles in Frontiers journals that meet the guidelines as set by the KU administration. This agreement does not affect the basics of the publication process. An author must still submit their paper to a journal and it must still be accepted, pass editing, and the peer review process. Once the article has been accepted, the APC (article publication charges) will be paid by the university. This agreement became active on 1 January 2023.

While not required, the system works most easily when the corresponding author is affiliated with KU and uses their KU email address to communicate with the publishers. This allows the publisher to automatically make the request to KU for APC payment.
