Springer, the scholarly publishing giant, has acquired three important open access journals: Living Reviews in Relativity, Living Reviews in Solar Physics and Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics.
The earliest of these journals was launched in 1998 by Germany’s Max Planck Society. The journals are “alive” in the sense that the authors can continually update their articles, thereby ensuring they won’t become outdated as research evolves.
In a press release, Bruce Allen, one of the managing directors at the Institute, has stated that the journal will continue to remain open access.
