This agreement gives current staff and students the ability to make their articles accepted for publication in eligible Springer Nature journals open access, without the author paying an article processing charge (APC). Articles can be published open access with fees covered in more than 2000 Springer hybrid journals.
Please see links below to the Springer Nature agreement and ATU's full IReL journal list
The corresponding author must be a current staff member or student of ATU at the time the article is accepted for publication. They must ensure their correct affiliation details are known to the publisher at this time. Requests to publish OA under the agreement are subject to approval by ATU.
Please Note: Unlike the Elsevier Science Direct agreement no set allocation of APCs has been assigned for ATU researchers. Staff and students must compete nationally for the APCs allocated via the IReL agreement.
