Springer Nature No Longer Providing Manuscript Deposition Service

Posted on by

Effective immediately, Springer Nature has decided to no longer offer a full manuscript deposition service to their NIH-funded authors. Authors (usually the corresponding author) or their assigned delegate, will now be responsible for handling the task of depositing the accepted manuscript in the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system to fulfill any funder or institutional mandate. Instructions for this task can be found on the Memorial Sloan Kettering NIH Public Access Policy LibGuide. Look for the tab labelled, Submission Method C.

Springer Nature will continue to automatically deposit gold open access (OA) articles in PMC (PubMed Central) and EPMC (Europe PubMed Central) if the research paper meets the PMC deposition guidelines on publisher deposition of papers published open access. Authors can confirm if a journal has a full PMC deposition agreement by searching for the journal title here.

It is critical that authors provide details of the grant when submitting their manuscript for publication to enable Springer Nature to identify eligible OA NIH-funded articles for deposit in the NIHMS system.

Should you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to Donna Gibson, Director, Library Services.
