• 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, which launched for a year-long trial period in December 2014 and resulted in over 1.3m additional article accesses during that period, is now being made 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 open-access articles, all readers will be able to download, print and save an enhanced PDF, or to view the full-text HTML version
• For subscription articles, subscribers will be able to download, print and save an enhanced PDF, or to view the full-text HTML version.

The tools that enable SharedIt, offering hyperlinked citations, annotation capabilities and advanced article metrics, are provided by ReadCube. Please email sharedit@springernature.com if you have further questions.
