Announcement

The OA publication service for the University of Namibia has reached their maximum article allowance. This means the agreement is no longer covering OA publishing fees until further notice.

The option to publish OA via Springer Open 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. Alternatively, contact the OA team at your institution.
