360 KB: Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access Database: Titles Will Be Removed -- April 2025
What is happening to the database Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access?
ProQuest currently has title-level information for the Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access from provider Springer Nature in the Knowledgebase. This database is a duplicate of Nature Open Access from provider Nature Publishing.
Additionally Nature Open Acces from the provider Nature Publishing will be re-named Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access.
The database Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access from the provider Springer Nature is no longer being updated. In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on our Knowledgebase collection policy), all titles will be removed from ringer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access database and the database will be hidden in the Knowledgebase on April 11, 2025. The database will become a zero-titles database, and no future subscriptions will be possible. (NOTE: The database code for this database is AJTQC.)
- Before April 11, 2025: Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access, database code AJTQC
- After April 11, 2025: Nature Open Access re-named Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access, database code NAO
Actions you may need to take:
- If you are a 360 Resource Manager, 360 Counter, or Intota client, you may need to make some changes to your account settings before April 11, 2025:
- If you are a 360 MARC Updates client and have requested the custom specification that adds the database name as it appears in the Client Center/Intota to MARC records, you can expect to see some change records when you get your MARC records after April 11, 2025.
- If your library uses a third-party service (such as EBSCO A-Z, etc.), custom scripts to manage data, or other non-ProQuest tools that require the database name to function, you should note the change in ProQuest's database name in order to retain the proper relationship/mapping between those tools.
