RA Forum is a quarterly journal published by ERA in cooperation with Springer (Berlin/ Heidelberg). It is composed of articles based on the most outstanding presentations delivered at ERA’s conferences. The journal can be accessed in several ways: through individual article downloads, in the form of an annual subscription, or mainly as part of online packages available to institutional subscribers around the world. Thanks to a framework of agreements between Springer and the authors’ institutions – often universities – an increasing number of these articles is available for free as part of an “Open Access” arrangement.
