Last year, Springer Nature published over 100,000 articles immediately OA across its portfolio of 600 OA journals and 2200 hybrid journals. This means that 30 percent of all Springer Nature articles are published fully OA, further cementing its OA leadership position. Springer Nature has also published over 800,000 articles open access in total – more than any other publisher.
The majority of these 100,000 articles were primary research articles which makes Springer Nature the largest publisher of OA primary research in the world. Springer Nature is committed to open access and finding ways to accelerate growth in OA publishing. New OA journals are being launched, have a growing OA book portfolio and have the most national transformative agreements in place.
Having been leading in OA for nearly 20 years, Springer Nature has published well over 800,000 articles that are free to access from the moment of publication. These numbers, according to the publisher, are significantly more than any other publisher. By publishing the most amount of primary research immediately OA across the largest choice of OA journals covering the broadest range of academic subjects, Springer Nature continues to make the opening up research its primary focus in how it serves the research community.
