Open Access publishing gets a boost from Springer

Take this as evidence when negotiating with your potential publishers for copyright!!

"In the latest move of for-profit publishing into open access, Springer on Wednesday announced a deal with the University of California under which the university’s researchers who publish with Springer will be able to have completely open access versions of their article appear without separate charges or delays."
