Springer Nature: Framework agreement Nature journals
Since January 2025, the University of Cologne has been participating in the new nationwide consortium agreement “Nature Journals – Publish & Read” for the years 2025-2028. This agreement enables scientists at the University of Cologne and Cologne University Hospital to publish their research articles in Nature Research Journals in open access without having to pay individual publication fees.
This agreement runs until December 2028.
Publish in open access
In addition to the journal Nature, 34 other Nature Research Journals are available for your open access publication.
In order for the publication fee for the open access article to be covered by the agreement, the publication date must fall within the agreement period.
Full read access
You have access rights to the entire portfolio. This includes the world's leading multidisciplinary science journal Nature, as well as subject-specific Nature-branded research journals (38 titles) and review journals (27 titles). Prerequisite: You must access the journals from the university network.
This offer is jointly funded by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine, and the UCL.
