Nobel Prize winners are also Springer authors Quality and tradition

Journal publishing has changed from print on paper to ‘print’ on line from individual libraries to consortia from subscriptions to licences from individual titles to collections from journal to article

Expectations are also changing from selection to comprehensiveness from print to electronic from textual to multi-media from fast to immediate from browsing to searching from dissemination to formalization from reading to mining
