Open Access Springer Nature Journals

The UAB Libraries participate in a Transformative Agreement with the publisher Springer Nature covering more than 2,000 journals. The Agreement allows corresponding authors who are affiliated with UAB to publish their articles open access with fees covered in hybrid journals across the Springer Nature portfolio. Eligibility is determined after the article is accepted based on the authors’ email and affiliation.

For more information, go to the Springer Nature Open Access Agreement site. You may also contact the UAB Libraries' Office of Scholarly Communication with any questions about the program.

A complete list of eligible Springer Nature journals can be found here. [NOTE: The flagship journal Nature and BMC journals are not included in the Agreement.]
