Open access agreements for Austria

Find out if your institution has an open access agreement with Springer Nature

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

Here is a full list of institutions with consortia or individual agreements covering OA publishing fees

Click through the links below or contact your librarian to find out more about the terms and conditions of available funding.
