Many institutions in the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, the UK, as well as the Max Planck Institute, are part of the Springer Compact deal, meaning academics from those institutions will be able to publish open access in an existing subscription journal for free. This includes BIT Numerical Mathematics. Publishing open access gives higher visibility and could lead to more citations.

Check out https://www.springer.com/de/open-access/springer-open-choice/springer-compact/ to see if your institution is part of the deal.

The journal encourages authors, where possible and applicable, to deposit data that support the findings of their research in a public repository. Authors and editors who do not have a preferred repository should consult Springer Nature´s list of repositories and research data policy.

General repositories - for all types of research data - such as figshare and Dryad may also be used.

Datasets that are assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs) by a data repository may be cited in the reference list. Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite: authors, title, publisher (repository name), identifier.

Springer Nature provides a research data policy support service for authors and editors, which can be contacted at researchdata@springernature.com. This service provides advice on research data policy compliance and on finding research data repositories. It is independent of journal, book and conference proceedings editorial offices and does not advise on specific manuscripts.
