Promoting your Paper

SharedIt
Springer Nature wants researchers to share content easily and legally. Our Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative means that links to view-only, full-text subscription research articles can be posted anywhere - including on social media platforms, author websites and in institutional repositories - so researchers can share research with colleagues and general audiences. More information on Springer Nature’s commitment to content sharing is available here.

How it works:

  • Springer Nature provides its authors and readers with shareable links to view-only versions of peer-reviewed research papers. Reasonable sharing is encouraged for non-commercial, personal use.
  • SharedIt is available for the whole of Springer Nature’s owned journal portfolio, along with 1,000 co-owned and partner-owned journals.
  • The shareable links can be posted anywhere, including via social channels and on other highly-used sites, institutional repositories and authors’ own websites, as well as on scholarly collaborative networks         
  • The initiative also enables more than 200 media outlets and blogs to link to a read-only version of full-text subscription articles.
  • For subscription articles, subscribers will be able to download, print and save an enhanced PDF, or to view the full-text HTML version.
  • For open-access articles, all readers will be able to download, print and save an enhanced PDF, or to view the full-text HTML version
  • As soon as your article is published, you can generate your shareable link by entering the DOI of your article here: http://authors.springernature.com/share
