For institutions

We want to partner with your institution in all aspects of open research. Our priority is to learn about your current requirements, processes and goals for the future, and offer support to your institution.

Do you have an open research initiative in the works? We’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re streamlining an administrative process or raising general awareness, please get in touch if there are any aspects of open research or related topics you’d like to discuss.

Examples might include:

  • Funder compliance monitoring
  • Centralized billing
  • Budget and publication reporting
  • Repository deposition
  • Support for events
  • Any other related topic affecting your institution

BMC and SpringerOpen provide a membership program for institutions to support researchers who publish in our journals. Membership is designed to provide billing support for article processing charges while allowing institutions to more effectively manage their open access output.

Membership is applicable to BMC and SpringerOpen journals only, and does not apply to any Nature.com, Palgrave Macmillan, or Springer Nature hybrid open access (Open Choice) journals.

Visit our list of members to find out whether your institution participates.
