Frontiers Media SA is a publisher of peer-reviewed, open access, scientific journals[3] currently active in science, technology, and medicine. It was founded in 2007 by Kamila and Henry Markram.[2] Frontiers is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, with offices in the United Kingdom, Spain, and China.[4] In 2022, Frontiers employed more than 1,400 people, across 14 countries.[2] All Frontiers journals are published under a Creative Commons Attribution License.[5]

In 2015, Frontiers Media was classified as a possible predatory publisher by Jeffrey Beall,[6] though Beall's list was taken offline two years later[7] in a decision that remains controversial.
