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]

Frontiers journals are included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); the publisher has been on DOAJ's advisory board & council since 2019.[6] Frontiers is also a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA); a participating publisher and supporter of the Initiative for Open Citations; a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE); and a member of the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers (STM). As of 2023, Frontiers publishes over 220 academic journals, and following the 2023 release of the Web of Science Group's Journal Citation Reports (JCR 2022) and Scopus' CiteScore, 72 of the journals published by Frontiers have a Journal Impact Factor and 79 journals have a CiteScore.[7]

In 2015, Frontiers Media was classified as a possible predatory publisher by Jeffrey Beall,[8] though Beall's list was taken offline two years later[9] in a decision that remains controversial.
