What's Happening?
Springer Nature is committed to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through open access (OA) publishing. By making SDG-related research freely accessible, the publisher aims to increase
the visibility and impact of this work. OA books have been shown to reach a more diverse audience and receive more citations and downloads than non-OA books, contributing to global collaboration and discourse on sustainability.
Why It's Important?
Open access publishing plays a vital role in advancing the SDGs by removing barriers to knowledge transfer and promoting equity in information dissemination. By increasing the accessibility of SDG-related research, OA books can foster collaboration and drive progress towards achieving these global goals. This approach aligns with the growing demand for transparency and inclusivity in academic publishing, supporting efforts to address pressing global challenges.
