Successful negotiations with Springer-Nature
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) (in German) was signed with Springer Nature, outlining the steps of a future Publish and Read contract. This agreement will provide scientific institutions in Germany with access to approximately 2,500 Springer Nature journals as well as making more than 13,000 publications a year available in open access journals. The final contract is expected to be signed and published later this year.
