Last month, ßÙÁ¨´«Ã½ agreed a new transformative ‘read and publish’ deal with the Norwegian library consortium, Unit. This, coupled with renewals of existing deals in the UK (Jisc), Sweden (Bibsam) and Qatar, takes the number of such deals we have into double figures, the most of any publisher. These deals enable researchers in these ten countries to publish open access in over 1900 Springer journals as well as read the research of others across this portfolio.
