The publisher announced that it had restored access to the Reaxys resource.

Please note that all University Libraries will be closed during the summer from August 4th to 22nd inclusive.

The University of Parma has joined the transformative agreement signed between CRUI and Springer.

The agreement provides for access to Springer journals available on the Springer Link platform and to Nature Academics journals (or Academic Journals) on the Nature.com platform and provides, for corresponding authors formally affiliated with the University, the opportunity to publish in open access at no additional cost in the Springer and Nature Academics hybrid journals.

More information on the agreement is available on the Publishing in Open Access page under "Springer & Nature Academics".

Starting from March 1st 2025, pending the resumption of the negotiation between CRUI and the IEEE publisher, the paid IEEE resources are no longer accessible.

It remains possible to consult the IEEE resources available in open access starting from this LINK.

From January 2025, it is no longer possible to publish in OA under the agreement, i.e. without paying APCs.

For more information, you can send an email to bibliot@unipr.it.
