|---|---|---|
| BioMed Central / SpringerNature | 20% | Applicable to fully Open Access journals covered by DEAL (exceptions: Scientific Reports, Nature Communications). See also Internal Funding Options for DEAL Gold Articles and Read and Publish agreements Springer Nature DEAL.

Please select the option “I agree to pay” instead. Upon acceptance the fee will be covered by DEAL and is subject to the requirements of the FAU publications fund or DFG-project fund. If your paper is not backed by a DFG-project at FAU, you will receive an invoice from the library for either a 25% author’s contribution or 100% in case the fee exceeds the maximum fundable amount of 2000 € (incl.
