We would like to inform you about the planned renewal of the Springer open publishing programme in 2025-2027 at the end of April 2025.

 

The programme is financed by the the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and allows authors affiliated with Polish academic institutions to publish open articles in Springer journals covered by the programme (2025 catalogue).The publisher does not provide for the possibility of retroactive activation of articles.

 

The affiliation of the corresponding author at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin allows you to use the programme. It should be provided in the article header with adequate accuracy to unambiguous identification.The corresponding author may provide more than one affiliation in the article and it is sufficient that at least one of them is consistent with the list of institutions eligible for the programme. The affiliation of any co-authors of the article is not relevant to the programme.

The affiliation of authors in the Springer programme is verified by local administrators – at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin : Ms Katarzyna Bojko, e-mail: repozytorium@kul.pl.
