Università della Svizzera italiana has formed an institutional membership agreement for open access publishing with Frontiers.

This institutional agreement means that eligible Università della Svizzera italiana researchers may publish in any Frontiers journal at no cost to them and with a simplified process. Articles may benefit from a 10% membership discount.

The university library Svizzera italiana supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. This agreement will further encourage Università della Svizzera italiana 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.  

For more information on Frontiers’ institutional agreements please visit our institutional memberships page or contact institutions@frontiersin.org to discuss the possibilities for your own organization. 

Information for researchers 

If you are a Università della Svizzera italiana researcher, please select Università della Svizzera italiana in the payment information section (“Frontiers institutional members”) when submitting your article. Frontiers will verify your eligibility with the library and, if confirmed, the APC will be paid by Università della Svizzera italiana upon acceptance.
