Introduction to Springer Nature’s Open Access Agreements

Springer Nature is committed to accelerating the adoption of open access publishing and open research techniques, and since 2015 has pioneered a substantial number of transformative agreements (TAs).

Our TAs promote the transition to more transparent and sustainable open access publishing, and reduce the total financial costs and administration while enabling researchers to comply with their funders’ open access requirements.
