Submitting to Frontiers journals
What we hold as Frontiers’s house rules, and where each one was read. A journal’s own guide for authors always comes first: a rule here is used only where that guide is silent.

Verified: Frontiers states these for its journals. Only rules like these can count as a blocker in a check, and a journal’s own guide still comes first.

What the journal decides, not Frontiers
These vary between Frontiers journals, so we do not hold a house value for them. Your journal’s own guide for authors is where to look.
Reference style · Citation format · Reference format at submission · Abstract · Abstract length · Keywords, fewest · Keywords, most · Separate title page · Line numbering · Line art resolution · Greyscale resolution · Colour resolution · Cover letter · Figures in the manuscript · Declarations
