Springer Nature has acquired Atlantis Press, an open access (OA) publisher specialising in conference proceedings and journal publishing, founded in 2006 in Paris. Containing oevr 1,200 conference proceedings, the Atlantis Press portfolio is seen to be a valuable addition to Springer Nature’s book portfolio. It will further strengthen Springer Nature’s position as a leader in the conference proceedings market, where it already publishes over 1,800 titles a year, and its leadership position in open access publishing.
Atlantis Press has a strong focus on global emerging markets across the STM disciplines and Social Sciences. Its portfolio of 17 different proceedings series and over 130,000 proceedings articles is recognised around the world. In addition, Atlantis Press has a small but fast growing open access journal business which will also transfer to Springer Nature.
The acquisition follows a book-partnership and a co-publication deal signed between the two companies in 2010 and 2018 which saw a total of 115 Atlantis Press print titles hosted as eBooks on SpringerLink and distributed via Springer Nature channels.
