Open access in the Netherlands
Scholarly communication of the Netherlands published in open access form can be found by searching the National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS). The web portal was developed in 2004 by the Data Archiving and Networked Services of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research and Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1]
Publishers Brill, National Library of the Netherlands, OAPEN Foundation, Stichting Fair Open Access Alliance, Utrecht University Library, and VU University Amsterdam Library belong to the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.[2]
Policy
The Dutch government has voiced the ambition that by 2019 60% of all publications from Dutch research universities should be published as open access, and by 2024 this should be 100%.[3] The Society of Dutch Universities is negotiating big deals with publishers, where open access publication for Dutch corresponding authors is free of additional charge.[4]
Repositories
As of March 2018, the UK-based Directory of Open Access Repositories lists some 36 repositories in the Netherlands.[5] Those maintaining the largest number of digital assets include: Wageningen Staff Publications, Utrecht University Repository, Radboud Repository, University of Groningen Research Database, Repository TU/e, TU Delft Repository, Universiteit van Amsterdam Digital Academic Repository, Erasmus University Institutional Repository, and Universiteit Twente Repository.[1]
