STM publisher Springer has announced that its SpringerPlus journal has passed an important milestone – more than 1,000 submissions by authors wishing to be published in the journal. SpringerPlus is published under the SpringerOpen brand, and is an interdisciplinary, fully open access (OA) publication.
SpringerPlus was first launched in January of 2012 and is a peer-reviewed, open access journal with a broad interdisciplinary approach covering all areas of science, technology, engineering, medicine, the humanities and social sciences. The submissions for the journal are handled by an esteemed international board of academic editors.
Earlier this year Springer announced that SpringerPlus is now indexed by PubMed Central and Scopus. This provides authors publishing in the journal maximum exposure for their research. And furthermore, as an OA journal published under the liberal Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license, SpringerPlus allows for authors to easily comply with their funders' open access mandates.
Finally, SpringerPlus counts a fast and transparent publication process among its many outstanding qualities. All submissions are peer-reviewed with a singular focus on the scientific quality of the manuscript, rather than its fit with any one discipline, journal or editorial direction. Authors whose papers are accepted can count on a very short time between acceptance and publication.
