If you’re affiliated with a Max Planck Institute, you are eligible to receive a discount on the standard Book Publishing Charge (BPC) when you publish your monograph open access (OA), under the open licence CC BY.
Authors affiliated with any of the 86 Max Planck Society’s institutes are eligible for a discount on the standard BPC when publishing their monograph OA with the open licence CC BY, thanks to the OA book agreement between Springer Nature and the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL). Additionally, the MPDL will contribute central funding toward the discounted BPC, lowering the costs for authors even further.
The agreement covers all Springer Nature book imprints, ensuring your work is freely accessible and discoverable to all communities across science, technology, medicine, the humanities and social sciences. Your work will also be available to readers around the world via Springer Nature's content platform SpringerLink.
