Springer Nature has reached a new Transformative Agreement (TA) with Lyrasis, a non-profit member organization working globally to serve libraries and other institutions. The four-year deal covers some 120 institutions and includes eight Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) benefiting from greater access to articles. In addition, the agreement will allow over 5,000 articles in the Springer hybrid portfolio to be published immediately open access at no cost to eligible researchers.
A welcome development in a well-established relationship, this new TA builds upon prior agreements between Springer Nature and Lyrasis such as the 2021 Open Access (OA) sponsorship partnership for books supporting research and teaching aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
The HBCUs included in the TA are the result of Springer Nature’s employees deepening existing relationships with HBCU communities in alignment with Springer Nature’s commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
