If you are affiliated with a participating institution, you may be eligible to publish open access in our journals with fees covered.
Selected Swiss institutions have open access agreements with Springer Nature, meaning that corresponding authors affiliated with participating institutions may be eligible to publish their articles open access with fees covered. The agreements include more than 2,100 journals across the Springer Nature portfolio. From January 2023, this also includes Nature and the Nature Research journals.
Established by Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries (CSAL), these agreements will run through 31 December 2025.
Nature agreement update
The Swiss CSAL Nature transformative agreement has reached its maximum article allowance. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees for authors affiliated with participating institutions until further notice.
