Frontiers has won the ALPSP Innovation in Publishing Award in recognition of its innovative Open-Science platform that provides open-access academic publishing and research networking for scientists.

Formed by a group of scientists in 2007, Frontiers empowers academic communities to take scholarly publishing into their own hands and provides innovative solutions on how science is reviewed, published, evaluated, communicated and disseminated to both academics as well as the general public.

The Frontiers Collaborative Peer Review facilitates a fair, fast, rigorous and transparent review and takes place in an online Review Forum that enables reviewers and authors to interact directly in real-time.

The prestigious award, issued by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), acknowledges the best innovators in the scholarly publishing industry and Frontiers received the top Gold prize at the awards ceremony in London, UK, last week (Thursday, 11 September).
