As part of the Springer Nature alignment project which was started last year, we have worked closely with Springer Nature to clean up duplicate collections in our KBs and to make sure all collections align with those collections found and maintained by the provider on their KBART site here: https://adminportal.springernature.com/metadata/kbart
Due to the high activations on collection ID 611000000000001846 (Nature Free), we will keep and rename this collection to Springer Nature - nature.com Journals - Fully Open Access and delete the duplicate collection (615510000000000258) as shown above. This decision was made to cause the least disruption to our mutual customers. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work with Springer Nature to ensure we have the most current and accurate data for their collections in our KBs.
