STM publisher Springer has signed an agreement for the sale of Springer-Verlag France's French-language STM publications to Lavoisier.
The transaction is effective as of September 1, 2014. Archives and the articles to be published up to and including December 2016 will continue to be accessible online via SpringerLink. All past and current subscribers will have continued access to the journals archives on the Springer platforms.
The French-language products published by Springer Healthcare in Paris and those published by Springer Group entities, including Professional Publishing, are not part of this transaction and will remain with Springer.
Going forward, Springer-Verlag France will focus its activity on English-language STM publishing, playing a valuable liaison role to researchers, libraries and institutions in France, as well as serving as a base for the Sales operation for France, Southern Europe and the Maghreb.
Lavoisier, based in Cachan, France, was founded in 1947, and is one of the leading French publishers for printed and digital STM content.
