Open Science Drives Impact: Frontiers Reports 2017

With a mission to empower researchers by driving innovative solutions that improve how science is reviewed, published, evaluated and disseminated, the Frontier’s Report 2017 demonstrates our commitment to providing the most innovative, publishing platform, which has been adopted by 230,000 academic authors.

The 2017 Frontiers Reports showcase the stellar performance of our journals with key facts about journal impact and participation from outstanding researchers

For the last 9 years Frontiers has innovated at the forefront of Open Science, empowering scientists with cutting-edge technology and services that improve how science is peer-reviewed, evaluated and disseminated to academics and the broader public.

In the 2017 Frontiers Report we highlight key achievements:

The data also speaks to the scientific excellence of the publishing program:

The Report also highlights the high satisfaction of researchers using our Collaborative Peer Review (88% rate it good or excellent), as well as the success of the Frontiers Research Topics  – collections of peer-reviewed articles published around specialized themes of cutting-edge research – which has attracted 122’000 authors to date. These unite the world’s leading experts around a topic, stimulating collaboration and accelerating science.

Another highlight is our initiative to bring science to kids, edited by kids. Frontiers for Young Minds is an open-access scientific journal written for, and reviewed by 8-14 year olds with the goal to generate enthusiasm for science among children and their families.

At the journal level, 29 individual journal reports highlight how each Frontiers title is advancing from strength to strength. With key performance indicators (Impact Factor, citations, article counts, views and downloads), a closer look at editorial boards and Research Topics — enhanced with competitive benchmarking based on the 2016 Journal Citation Reports — the reports showcase how Open Science delivers scientific excellence at scale and works across many divers academic disciplines.
