Intro

Frontiers is more than just an open-access publisher of scholarly articles:
it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed.

The Frontiers Journals publish high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific research articles freely accessible to anybody in the world. Our editorial boards are composed by over 25,000 world-renowned scientists, and Frontiers has become one of the fastest growing open-access publishers world-wide, with over 4 million monthly page views. 

Our web-based publishing platform allows efficient submission, processing, peer-reviewing and publishing of research articles, thus cutting down the entire publication process to 3 months on average.






The Frontiers Academic Model is based on four pillars, which make the Frontiers Journals unique in the context of academic publishing:

Open Access Publications - all articles are freely accessible to anybody in the world.

Frontiers Peer Reviews - fair, constructive, efficient and transparent.

Frontiers Impact Evaluation - the communicaties evaluate the significance of research based on web analytics tools.

Frontiers Tier Climbing - the best research is promoted "up the tiers".
 

In 2012 Frontiers launched its Research Networking Platform for researchers and everybody interested in academia. Frontiers is the first academic publisher to combine open-access publishing with a networking platform. The Research Networking Platform was specifically designed to disseminate the open-access articles published in Frontiers Journals even more efficiently and to empower researchers with web 2.0 tools to easily seek, share and generate scientific content, such as conferences, blogs, news, video lectures and job postings.

By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new digital academic era.
