Books at Springer Nature

What if your colleagues and students could find and access your book, immediately, on any device, anywhere in the world? That’s Springer Nature’s vision for your book, and that’s one of the benefits you get as a Springer Nature book author. 

Any Springer Nature book, anywhere, anytime

Our goal is for researchers and students to find and use the books we publish—when they’re looking for them; when they need them. By having our books in every format (PDF, ePub, print, and MyCopy), we break down the barriers between your book and your readers. Breaking down barriers also means we can publish your book open access.

Libraries

Springer Nature's books philosophy has always focused on libraries. It has always been our mission to get a copy of every book we publish into every research library in the world. We developed our eBook packages so that this would also mean that that copy would be available to every researcher and student in the world, on demand, without restrictions (so no limits on concurrent users, no digital rights management, etc.) 

To accomplish this challenging task, Springer Nature has built a world-leading marketing and sales organization to serve university and institutional libraries, worldwide.

Books marketing

The goal: Put your book in front of the right readers, when they're looking for it. This means a relentless focus on findability, and on making it as easy as possible for researchers and students to find and access your book. This includes working hard on search engine optimization, but also:

  • Inexpensive print accessibility via MyCopy
  • Powerful e-commerce tools and initiatives, including our own web shop, Amazon and other online booksellers

You also have the opportunity to help promote your research effectively.
