Frontiers launches new Open Access Journals

Posted on by

Frontiers, founded in 2007, is an open access publisher based in Switzerland. The current repertoire of 12 online journals covering academic fields in the life sciences has been supplemented by some new open access journals in the fields of chemistry and physics. At Frontiers, peer-reviewed articles appear under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, so that authors retain their copyright.

The Max Planck Society and Frontiers already signed a publishing cooperation agreement last November. Here is an extract from the press release:

[…] all publication charges for research articles submitted by authors affiliated with any Max Planck Institute will be directly and fully funded by the Max Planck Society. This institutional agreement is valid for all current and future Frontiers journals.

Among the 13 new journals are:
Frontiers in Chemistry
Frontiers in Energy
Frontiers in Physics

New SpringerLink Platform

Posted on by

SpringerLink has migrated to a new platform. The new design is very simple and the search speed has been made faster.

Unfortunately your individual profile has not been migrated automatically to the new site. You will need to set up a new account.

What we miss is the nice option of the old SpringerLink to get all open access articles published in a (hybrid) journal by one click. Now you have to click through volumes, issues and ToC to find out if an article is open access. The open access indicator is shown on the article page or on the search results page.
