Dear Academicians,
We announced at the beginning of this year that EKUAL members were allocated a certain open access article publishing quota every year within the scope of the open access article publishing agreement between TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM and Springer Nature publishing house, which is valid between 01.01.2024-31.12.2026. We regret to inform you that the quota set for this year within the scope of the Springer Nature open access agreement has been reached and therefore we will not be able to meet your new requests within the scope of open access. However, our researchers will be able to continue publishing their articles as free and closed access as before.
In this context, instead of the 'You have an agreement' warning in the system, you will see a screenshot similar to the following. As of 01.01.2025, the open access article publishing quota will be reopened and your open access requests will continue to be met as of this date.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards
