Open Access Publishing in Springer Computer Proceedings

As with all Springer computer science publications, open access proceedings volumes are available as PDFs and in full-text HTML, as EPUBs.

There are two open access options available for open access publishing in computer science proceedings

• Individual open access papers in a regular volume (open choice)
• Entire open access volumes

Authors interested in open access for their papers (open choice) should inform their conference contact as soon as possible. Special CC BY Licence-to-Publish forms should be obtained from lncs@springer.com. These should be signed and the full invoicing address should be provided as soon as possible. This information has to be available before the start of the publication processA

Please note that the open choice publishing mode is only available if fewer than 40% of the papers select this option.  If the entire book is to be published in open access mode, then we require one single invoicing address for the open access fees.
