The SpringerLink design introduced in 2023 has brought a change to the Single Sign-On (SSO) login journey for users from institutions.

This change has been made to better utilise the new Springer Nature ID logins now used by individual users, and to match the login options with our Nature platform. A benefit of the SNID update is that it provides users with a unified account, replacing the need for separate accounts for each platform.
Our WAYF (Where Are You From) pages for each platform can be bookmarked as an institutional SSO login page:
