"Jisc and Springer Nature Renew Transformational Deal Securing Open Access for UK Higher Education"

Springer Nature has released "Jisc and Springer Nature Renew Transformational Deal Securing Open Access for UK Higher Education ."

Here's an excerpt:

Jisc and academic publisher Springer Nature have agreed a further 'read and publish' agreement that meets the aims of Plan S and offers researchers a funder compliant route to publishing in hybrid journals. Plan S requires that, from 2020, scientific publications funded by public grants must be published in Open Access journals or platforms.

Building on a previous arrangement, this transformational agreement limits the costs of publishing all UK articles open access (OA) while maintaining access to all of Springer's subscription articles. The deal converts the previous subscription agreement to one based on OA.
