Nature journals reveal open-access terms
by Mohan Hr 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

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. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03324-y 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 With regards -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
