those published behind a paywall.</p><p>In partnership with Digital Science, we analysed a global sample of over 70,000 articles published in Springer Nature hybrid journals. Our new white paper, <em>Assessing the open access effect for hybrid journals</em>, examines the relationship between open access (OA) and impact, demonstrating the wider value hybrid journals bring to researchers, funders, institutions, and society more broadly.<br /></p><p>The global analysis showed that:</p><ul><li>On average, OA articles were downloaded 1.6 times more by users based at academic institutions and 4 times more by users overall, compared to non-OA articles.</li><li>OA articles attracted an average of 1.6 times more citations.</li><li>OA articles attracted an average of 2.4 times more Altmetric attention, with 1.9 times more news mentions than non-OA articles.</li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="column medium-4 large-3" id=""><div

that authors don’t make decisions based on the publishing model of a particular journal, but are motivated first and foremost by their desire to be published in a relevant peer-reviewed journal with a strong reputation in their community. We respect academic independence so as a global publisher we need to continue to offer a range of publishing options to ensure that we serve the whole research
