New York, 20 August 2026 – Springer Nature has reached a new Transformative Agreement with Binghamton University, allowing researchers to publish Open Access (OA) in the Springer hybrid portfolio encompassing a wide range of subject areas including engineering, biomedical and life sciences, chemistry and materials science. The three-year agreement also allows Binghamton-affiliated researchers read access in Springer, Palgrave, Academic Journals on nature.com, as well as the Adis journals.
Maria Lopes, Vice President, Institutional Sales for Springer Nature said: “We are pleased to partner with Binghamton University to support its researchers in sharing their work openly with the global research community. By removing barriers to OA publishing and providing access to Springer Nature’s trusted research content, this agreement helps increase the visibility, reach and impact of important discoveries across a wide range of disciplines. We look forward to collaborating to advance open research and help researchers maximize the value of their scholarship.”
