Frontiers in... is a series of open-access academic journal published by Frontiers Media since 2007. The series uses open peer review, where the names of reviewers of accepted articles are made public.

The first journal published was Frontiers in Neuroscience, which opened for submission as a beta version in 2007, and for official submissions in January 2008.[1] In 2010, Frontiers launched a series of another eleven journals in medicine and science, and the series kept expanding since. As of 2015, 16 of their journals had impact factors.[2]

The series and its publisher have often been criticized for predatory practices,[3] having appeared on Beall's list before it was taken down.[4]
