Open access agreement for the Malaysia | Open science

To support authors in publishing open access (OA), Springer Nature partners with institutions globally to provide flexible agreements that help cover OA publication costs (known as article processing charges, or APCs). These agreements allow authors from eligible institutions to publish OA in Springer Nature’s journals across BMC, Springer, Discover, Palgrave Macmillan and the Nature portfolio with financial support from their institution.

Depending on the terms of the agreement, your institution may offer:

Full APC coverage - 100% of the APC is paid by the institution
A percentage discount - e.g. 10% off the list price APC
Fixed price coverage - e.g. up to €1,000 paid by the institution
