Open access agreement for the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India

Information for authors

If you are affiliated with a participating institution within the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, this transformative agreement means you can publish your article open access (OA) with fees covered in Springer hybrid journals.

In addition, you can enjoy full access to all Springer subscription journal content.

Announcement

The OA publication service for the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has reached its maximum article allowance. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees until further notice.

The option to publish OA via Springer Author Choice is still available to affiliated authors, but the publishing fee will not be covered under the agreement. Authors should use alternative funding sources in order to publish OA or proceed with publication under subscription until the agreement is reactivated. If you need advice on what OA funding is available to you, please visit our funding & support service page. For more information, please contact oa.verification@springernature.com.
