"Ultimately, we felt that SpringerPlus covered too wide a range of
disciplines, from the natural sciences to engineering and the social
sciences. These are very different research communities, with very
different needs when submitting or transferring manuscripts, and a
one-size-fits-all journal is not the solution."

How are other mega journals faring? A number were launched.
