If you are a corresponding author affiliated with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), visit this page to learn more about publishing OA with fees covered under the CSIRO agreement.
The OA publication service for the CAUL transformative agreement has reached its maximum article allowance for 2024. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees until 2025, except for authors affiliated with The University of Sydney as they have extended.
The option to publish OA via Springer Open Choice is still available to you, but the publishing fee will not be covered under the CAUL transformative agreement until 01 January 2025. 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 oa.verification@springernature.com. Alternatively, contact the OA team at your institution.
