Early in the #pandemic, 50+ publishers committed to make #COVID-related articles #OpenAccess through #PubMedCentral that would not otherwise have been OA. Many of these commitments are now expiring.

"Most of the articles…will remain available in #PMC and available for bulk distribution and reuse, and all citations will remain searchable in PubMed; however, some publishers retained the right to remove their content and have requested to do so."

We are proud to announce that #CC360 has been accepted into #PubMedCentral. Indexing is an exciting new benefit of this @CrohnsColitisFn fully #OpenAccess journal. Learn about publishing your #OpenAccess article with @IBDJournals here: https://bit.ly/3ZcGy5o

SN is turning off a script that worked. Setting it up (with or without #SWORD) might have been an expense. But once built & debugged, it's trivial to maintain. Agreed that SN is saying it doesn't want to help.

Also probably saying it doesn't want to automate deposits to all the other repositories to be designated by all the other fed agencies under the #OSTP memo.

This is an opportunity for other pubs to steal fed-funded authors from SN.

Springer Nature will no longer help authors publishing via the subscription option to comply with the NIH PubMed Central mandate, shifting the burden back to them:
"We are getting in touch to let you know that Springer Nature will no longer be able to provide a manuscript deposition service via an automated feed for accepted manuscripts of journal articles published via the subscription route to PubMed Central (PMC) and Europe PubMed Central (EPMC)."
