SpringerLink and Springer for R&D platforms

SpringerLink is the main content platform for Springer.com, Palgrave.com, and Apress.com, which provides access to millions of research documents. SpringerLink aims to become the primary resource destination for all academic researchers and students.

Springer for Corporate & Health is essentially the same platform as SpringerLink with access to exactly the same content, but the layout and organisation has been optimised for corporate & health markets. Springer for Corporate and Health aims to become the primary resource destination for all corporate and medical customers.


Our SpringerLink pages are currently undergoing a redesign and so may differ to the screenshot below, but the two platform formats can currently be toggled between by selecting the drop-down menu option in the top-right side of the homepage:
