Nature journals reveal open-access terms

Spurred by the open-access (OA) initiative Plan S, publisher Springer
Nature has announced how scientists can make their papers in its most
selective titles free to read as soon as they are published. From 2021, the
publisher will charge €9,500, US$11,390 or £8,290 to make a paper OA in
Nature and 32 other journals that currently keep most of their articles
behind paywalls and are financed by subscriptions. It is also trialling a
scheme that would halve that price for some journals, under a common-review
system that might guide papers to a number of titles.

Nature journals reveal terms of landmark open-access option

The journals will charge authors up to €9,500 to make research papers free
to read, in a long-awaited alternative to subscription-only publishing.


Path to OA seems to be too expensive
