Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine - Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine has moved to full OA

In order to best serve our authors and readers and to meet research funder requirements, the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine has moved to full Open Access (OA) publication from 2021 on.
 
By publishing open access, your work is open to all: it can be read, used, and built upon by researchers worldwide. On average, open access articles benefit from 4 times more downloads and 1.6 times more citations than articles behind a paywall.

As the world's largest open access publisher, we are committed to helping you succeed. We provide a free service (this opens in a new tab) to make it easier to discover and apply for funding for article processing charges.

*Note on archive articles: Subscription-based articles published prior to 2021 remain purchasable for instant access, and rights and permissions remain under original copyright. All open access articles prior to 2021 remain open access and are under a Creative Commons license. Please see “Reprints and Permissions” at the end of each article for details on reusing content.


How to fund your OA article in JMSM

Springer Nature has agreements with a growing number of national and regional consortia and individual institutions that cover full or partial APCs from their researchers.  You can find more information at https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/institutional-agreements (this opens in a new tab).  Other institutions also fully fund full OA publications, and maybe you have other ways to benefit from (partial) funding for APC costs related to full OA publication.  Springer Nature's free open access support service is available to provide more detailed assistance (https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/funding (this opens in a new tab)).

We automatically grant full APC waivers to papers whose corresponding authors are based in countries classified by the World Bank (this opens in a new tab) as low-income economies as of July 2020.  Papers whose corresponding authors are based in countries with lower-middle-income economies and with a 2019 gross domestic product (GDP) of less than 200 billion US dollars are eligible for a 50% discount (reference - World Bank 1st July 2020 (this opens in a new tab)).  If your country is not on the list of countries (this opens in a new tab) where we automatically grant a waiver or discount we also have a discretionary waiver program for authors who are not from one of these countries but who are unable to cover the APC.  Please include as much documentation as possible demonstrating your budget constraints in your discretionary hardship waiver request.
