Another agreement facilitating open-access publishing for CERN-affiliated authors | CERN

Thanks to CERN’s partnership with the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries, our community can now benefit from a new Publish-and-read deal with Springer Nature. This agreement has been negotiated by SwissUniversities, in collaboration with the consortium. With this new contract, all research articles with corresponding authors who have a primary or secondary affiliation to CERN can now be published in Springer’s hybrid journals with no barriers and article publication charges (APCs) paid centrally. In addition, CERN readers can freely access content from all Springer journals that is otherwise behind paywalls.
