Dear Alanya University Faculty and Students,
The third term of the Springer Nature Read & Publish Agreement (2024-2026), which allows our researchers to publish open access articles ‘free of charge’ in Springer Hybrid Journals, has been reactivated as of January 1, 2026.
Under the agreement, open access support will be provided for “Original Article,” “Review Article,” and “Continuing Education” publications in Q1 and Q2 Group Springer Nature Hybrid Journals listed in Web of Science (SCI, SSCI, AHCI).
The country quota for 2026 is 3,094, and APC support will continue until the quota is exhausted. According to the terms of the agreement, there will be no “AE article quota allocation” for institutions. The publication of the responsible author whose article is accepted in the specified journals will be processed in the order of publication, and if there is sufficient quota, TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM will approve the AE publication of articles that meet the criteria.
What authors need to know:
• The applicant must be the corresponding author of the article, and the name of the institution must appear in the article.
• When submitting an article, it is important to use institutional e-mail addresses to ensure the smooth processing of AE approval procedures.
• The list of journals for which AE article publication support will be provided is attached.
