Journals with lower impact factors are widely used and contribute meaningfully to the global research landscape, supporting specialised fields and fostering inclusivity.

Researcher perspectives on evaluation practices

White paper

The ways in which research is shared are evolving and researchers are increasingly encouraged to engage with diverse audiences, share their research data and collaborate across disciplines.

White paper

Presents the findings from analysis of 60,567 articles, showing a clear advantage in reach and impact for articles published open access (OA) in hybrid journals compared to non-OA articles in the same journals. Explore the key findings and benefits broadly and by subject area.

This case study offers an overview of the impact and reach of the Springer Nature/Jisc Transformative Agreement (TA) in the UK by discussing the benefits for authors, institutions and funders and how TAs enable a sustainable transition to an open research future.

The white paper brings together an international cohort of research data professionals to celebrate the real-world impact of the FAIR data principles, and consider what will be next for research data and open science.

This white paper provides evidence of the value of the version of record (VOR) and immediate gold open access, bringing together both analysis of VOR usage, and feedback from readers and authors via an online questionnaire.
