Announcement

The OA publication service for the °ÕÃœµþÄ°°Õ´¡°­ transformative agreement has reached its maximum article allowance for 2024. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees until 2025.

The option to publish OA via Springer Open Choice is still available to you, but the publishing fee will not be covered under the °ÕÃœµþÄ°°Õ´¡°­ agreement until 01 January 2025. Authors should use alternative funding sources in order to publish OA or proceed with publication under subscription until the agreement is reactivated. If you need advice on what OA funding is available to you, please visit our funding & support service page. For more information, please contact oa.verification@springernature.com.

Publishing open access in a hybrid journal

Hybrid journals are subscription journals that offer OA at the article level, allowing authors to make individual articles free for anyone to read, share and re-use.

Our study shows that there is a clear advantage in reach and impact for articles published OA in hybrid journals compared to non-OA articles in the same journals. Learn more about hybrid usage per discipline here.
