If you are affiliated with a participating institution, the Italy transformative agreement means you can publish your article open access (OA) with the fees covered, in more than 2,000 Springer hybrid journals.
In addition, you can enjoy full access to all Springer subscription journal content.
The OA publication service for the CRUI-CARE transformative agreement has reached its maximum article allowance for 2024. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees until a new national agreement is reached, the negotiation of which is still ongoing.
The option to publish OA via Springer Open Choice is still available to you, but the publishing fee will not be covered under the CRUI-CARE agreement until a new national agreement is reached. Authors should use alternative funding sources in order to publish OA or proceed with publication under subscription until the agreement is reactivated. If you need advice on what OA funding is available to you, please visit our funding & support service page. For more information, please contact the OA team at your institution. Alternatively, contact oa.verification@springernature.com.
