Springer Nature continues its support for open access publishing with its latest transformative agreement (TA) in Greece. The TA with HEAL-Link, the consortium of Greek academic libraries, will see authors from 43 academic and research institutions able to publish open access (OA) in over 2,300 Springer, Adis, and Palgrave journals. This agreement will also give authors full access to subscription content in these journals.
The researchers at the 43 Greek institutions covered by the deal will benefit from more citations, greater usage, and better reach for their research when publishing OA, opening up their research to the world.
This agreement is the latest in a year that has seen Springer Nature sign Japan’s largest OA deal to date, agree to the largest institutional deal to date in Latin America, sign a new deal in Italy, and extend agreements in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. The publisher’s Nature titles have also seen a number of TAs extended. The agreements form part of Springer Nature’s commitment to driving forward sustainable open research for all, with these agreements allowing researchers from over 2,650 affiliated institutions to publish open access, enabling an expected 41,400+ OA articles to be published a year.
