Springer Nature to rename 21 journals; collaborates with Clarivate to enable titles to become gender-neutral

Springer Nature?and?Clarivate?share a commitment to building an inclusive research culture and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the communities they serve, supporting Sustainable Development Goal 10 aimed at reducing inequalities.
