Researchers who still want to publish open access in scientific journals from publisher Springer Nature this year are out of luck: the annual quota has again been reached well before the end of the year.
According to the national agreement, authors from Dutch universities can publish a total of 2067 open access publications free of charge. Now that this quota has been reached, the counter starts again on 1 January 2024. Those who still want to publish in Springer Nature journals this year can do so behind a pay wall and still make the articles open access at a later date.
