Breaking news: It seems @SpringerNature have updated their website to clarify that colour charges are always required for the Nature brand journals that have print versions though not for other Springer titles. I guess at least they're now being clear 🫤support.nature.com/en/suppor…

We’ve had an increase in the number of authors having problems with publishing with Springer Nature. One example: It seems they require payments for colour charges even where the author is happy for the print version to be black and white. Do colour pixels cost more money? (1/4)

One way to start to better understand publisher prices, is for library consortiums to require publishers to share their price and service data via @cOAlitionS_OA Journal Comparison Services (journalcomparisonservice.org)

We are encouraging researchers to push back on these unacceptable publication charges with @SpringerNature There is sector wide irritation with this dubious practice and we are calling it out as are @cOAlitionS_OA and @CamOpenAccess
