Earth Sciences & Geography

The journals and books that the Earth Sciences & Geography community is reading and talking about will, inevitably, influence the research direction of the field—especially when they’re open access (OA). 

Because Springer Nature’s book and journal editors see such a large proportion of that research, they’re in a unique position to know what books and journals those are. Below, they’ve curated a collection of those essential OA books and journals that will be required reading for everyone in the field. And because they’re OA, they’re available to everyone.

Researchers at more than 3,450 institutions worldwide are benefitting from transformative agreements (TAs) with Springer Nature—and that number is growing.

These agreements cover the open access (OA) journal article publishing costs for researchers at those institutions. Find out more about OA agreements and whether you may be entitled to publish OA with your fees covered.

Benefits of publishing your research openly include increased citation and usage, greater public engagement, faster impact and compliance with open access mandates.
