Springer has launched the Polar Platform, a unique platform dedicated to research in polar sciences. The platform aims at developing a comprehensive collection of books, open access publications, journal articles and reference works published as part of Springer's polar sciences programme. It also features interviews with leading researchers in this field and provides an overview of publication options.
In the continuing scenario of climate change, interest in polar sciences is rapidly expanding. The POLAR2018 conference with more than 2,000 participants attending in Davos this week is testament to the growing importance of research in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. To meet the changing needs of the research community, Springer has significantly expanded its polar sciences programme in the recent years.
The Springer Polar Platform serves as a window into Springer's extensive publications in polar sciences. Launched at the end of 2016, the Springer Polar Science Series publishes multi-disciplinary books dealing with a wide range of topics relevant to the Arctic and Antarctic. The Advances in Polar Ecology Series aims to foster the progress in the scientific knowledge about the polar and sub-polar regions of both hemispheres. In 2017, Springer also published its first open access book in this field, The Interconnected Arctic — UArctic Congress 2016, which had almost 43,000 downloads in one year.
