Frontiers

Frontiers creates value by providing the infrastructure, workflows, and audience reach needed to publish, review, host, discover, and distribute scientific research digitally. It combines a publisher platform with service-led institutional partnerships, enabling authors and institutions to fund publication while readers access articles without paywalls. Revenue is generated from publication fees and institutional arrangements rather than reader subscriptions.

Its core business is publishing scholarly research online under an open access model, with supporting offerings for institutional agreements, publishing partnerships, consortia programmes, and research data services.
