Open Access Week (23-29 October 2023) was a great opportunity to consider what open access (OA) means, how the transition is going, and what’s next. Since its introduction, publishing OA has proven to have demonstrable impacts on the usage, accessibility, and engagement with research, ensuring that key knowledge – such as that around the UN Sustainable Development Goals – can be accessed and used by all, some even influencing policy change.

Three leading organizations in the US share their experiences of how their agreements with 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï have helped them to transition to OA.

Learn how open access agreements support open research, their benefits and impact for participating institutions, librarians, and researchers, including practical supporting tools.

Libraries are leading the way to open access, and their pivotal role is shaping transformative agreements for global OA publishing. Read how librarians vet venues, centralize OA funds, and expand coverage to 6 continents, and are driving OA forward for researchers.

The 28th Panhellenic Academic Libraries Conference (PALC) gave 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï and Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link) the perfect opportunity to showcase the benefits of new open access Transformative Agreement for Greece.

Partnering with the academic communities has Springer, and then 911±¬ÁϳԹÏ, evolve into the world’s foremost academic publisher and a pioneer of open access publishing. We take a look at just a few of the highlights from the past 180 years

This year’s State of Open Data report provides insights into the motivations and challenges of researchers towards open data and highlights the need for institutions, libraries, publishers and funders to continue to support data sharing practices and principles.

We spoke to researchers who’ve published open access climate research. Exploring their views on open access and looking more closely at the power of transformative agreements to make open access more accessible

The new white paper about the 911±¬ÁϳԹÏ/Jisc UK Transformative Agreement shows that not only researchers have a greater choice in how they publish and access content, but it also has significant advantages for institutions.

In 2021 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï became the first publisher to achieve the feat of publishing one million gold open access articles. Celebrating this significant milestone, looking back on the journey, and continued investments in an open research future.

While some funder policies continue to place Green OA and Gold OA on an equal footing, the choice of OA route can have very different outcomes in the reach and impact of research. 

Open Access Week 2021 is here, bringing with it a focus on ensuring awareness and uptake of OA around the world. The theme for 2021 is: “It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity�.

Practical resources to enable librarians to support researchers with publishing via the OA route. Segmented into three stages: Awareness, Consideration and Decision.

Through its wider commitment to the principles and drive for open science, 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï continues to enable a sustainable transition to Open Access (OA) for all authors regardless of discipline, location or funding

In 2014, 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï started its journey into open access. But what are the benefits of Transformative Agreements for librarians?

Open research is changing the way that researchers communicate and collaborate and supports the pace and quality of discovery. This has led to the emergence of new and dynamic open research-driven workflows are emerging which are making it easier to find, access and reuse results.

During January 2020 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has been undergoing an auditing process in order to become COUNTER 5 compliant. The first iteration of COUNTER 5 reports, including the master report and standard views are already available. At the moment we provide data from September onwards, which will be extended to data being available from January 2019 by end of Q2 2020.

911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for an OA agreement with Projekt DEAL, a consortium of over 700 publically and privately funded academic institutions and research institutions in Germany. Looking back over the past twenty years, Springer and 911±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï both independently and together – have always been at the forefront of OA publishing and developments, as the needs of the research community have evolved.
