If you are a corresponding author affiliated with Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, you can publish your article open access (OA) with fees covered in Springer Nature’s portfolio of hybrid journals. In addition, you can enjoy full access to all Springer, Adis, Palgrave and Academic Journals subscription journal content.
Established by UAM, this agreement will run through 31 December 2026.
This agreement covers OA publications in Springer, Palgrave & Adis hybrid journals on Springer Nature Link, and Academic Journals on Nature.com.
The corresponding author is defined as the person who handles the manuscript and correspondence during the publication process – from manuscript correction and proof reading, to handling the revisions and re-submission of revised manuscripts up to the acceptance of the manuscripts.
The corresponding author has the authority to act on behalf of all co-authors in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript including supplementary material. They are also responsible for obtaining such agreements and for informing the co-authors of the manuscript’s status throughout the submission, review and publication process.
In addition, the corresponding author acts as the point of contact for any enquiries after the paper is published.
When you submit, use at least one of the below methods of recognition.
Upon acceptance of your article, you'll also be prompted to provide your institutional affiliation.
The approval manager at your institution will approve your article's eligibility based on your institutional affiliation, article type and journal name.
Once your article is approved by your institution, you will be notified by email and your article will proceed to publication.
There are still plenty of ways to find funding for your article processing charge (APC). Visit our open access funding page to check whether your institution or research funder makes OA funding available.
