In 2019, Frontiers joined the Initiative for Open Citations. The Technical University of Madrid was the first university to link their Loop profile to their institutional website. In October 2015, Frontiers in collaboration with NPG launched Loop, a research network that is open to be integrated into any publisher's or academic organization's website, and Loop soon included a collaboration with ORCID to link and synchronize researcher profile information.

In early September 2014, Frontiers received the ALPSP Gold Award for Innovation in Publishing from the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers. įrontiers for Young Minds was launched in November 2013 during the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in collaboration with NPG as a web-based science journal that involves young people in the review of scientific articles with the help of scientists who act as mentors. In February 2013, the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) (now Nature Research) acquired a controlling interest in Frontiers Media.

In February 2012, the Frontiers Research Network was launched, a social networking platform for researchers, intended to disseminate the open access articles published in the Frontiers journals, and to provide related conferences, blogs, news, video lectures and job postings. In 2010, Frontiers launched a series of another eleven journals in medicine and science. The first journal published was Frontiers in Neuroscience, which opened for submission as a beta version in 2007. Īs of 2021, several Frontiers Media journals were selected for inclusion in the Norwegian Scientific Index (most at level 1, standard academic) or MEDLINE. COPE and OASPA have retained Frontiers as a member after concerns were raised. In 2015, Frontiers Media was classified as a possible predatory publisher by Jeffrey Beall. All Frontiers journals are published under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). Frontiers is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, with other offices in London, Madrid, Seattle and Brussels. It was founded in 2007 by a group of neuroscientists, including Henry and Kamila Markram, and later expanded to other academic fields. Frontiers Mediaįrontiers Media SA is a publisher of peer-reviewed open access scientific journals currently active in science, technology, and medicine.
