Agreement about open access universities - Emerce

Posted: 09 Jul 2015 01:01 AM PDT

"The Dutch universities have with the publisher SAGE reached an agreement on open access. The agreement enables researchers to publish in open access journals from SAGE. Open access means that scientific information, such as journal articles, dissertations and books are free and available free online.

The essence of the amendment lies in the fact that academic titles, completely or partly paid for by the government, may be published open access by the author after a reasonable period of time. This right cannot be relinquished by the author.   This means that university staff no longer have to lay down the right to publish open access in agreements with publishers. After the amendment of the law they have and keep this right automatically ..."
