The national website on OA publishing – openaccess.nl – received a complete makeover and now comes with a new feature: the Expertise Centre Diamond Open Access.
The national website gives practical information about OA publishing, for instance about copyrights, and the national agreements between the Dutch universities and publishers that let university authors publish OA at a full discount.
Diamond OA is a publication model where no fees are charged for OA publishing (not to anyone, so not to authors, readers, or their institutions). The national Expertise Centre Diamond Open Access is part of the program Strengthening Diamond Open Access in the Netherlands, funded by the Universities of the Netherlands (UNL) and launched by the Dutch Consortium of University Libraries (UKB) to reinforce and future-proof the national Diamond-OA publishing landscape.
The expertise centre creates resources and events for editors, researchers, institutional publishers and service providers, librarians, policymakers and funders in the Netherlands.
