Content sharing

We don’t permit the upload of articles to commercial social research networking sites, such as ResearchGate.

However, Springer Nature wants researchers to be able to share content easily and legally. Our Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative means that links to view-only, full-text subscription journal 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.


To request a SharedIt link for your article, please visit the SharedIt section on our website.


Please email the SharedIt team if you have further questions.
