Advancing fully open access

"“Ever since Springer became the first publisher to offer authors an OA choice on its subscription journals and BMC became part of the Springer, and then Springer Nature family, OA has been part of our DNA. We are proud to be an active player in the transition to OA, promoting publishing options and building a portfolio of high quality journals to support both our author and industry needs.

However, the collective reach and impact of our fully OA journals and imprints has never been evaluated. In this, the first report for our fully OA portfolio, we show their contribution, and the value, reach and impact these journals offer authors, readers and the wider research community.”
