What types of content are published as SpringerBriefs?

SpringerBriefs typically consist of information that would not be suitable as a full book, but would be useful to the research community. This may mean it is:

• A report on state-of-the art analytical techniques
• A bridge between new research results published in journal articles and a contextual literature review
• A primer on a hot new topic in your field
• A case study or clinical example that you think deserves publication
• The core concepts of a topic, which would be beneficial to a student’s understanding

What is the benefit to me in publishing in this format?

See your content published quickly! Upon acceptance of your manuscript, the typical publication timeline is 8-12 weeks.

How will students and researchers buy my SpringerBrief?

Just like Springer Nature’s other books, SpringerBriefs will be published as part of Springer’s eBook collection. Readers can purchase SpringerBriefs in three versions: print, eBook, and MyCopy. Those with Springer Nature Link access can read your research easily at any time of day.
