The European Commission, most national research funding bodies and the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) consider Open Access publishing a priority. The aim is to make 100% of the publicly funded scientific publications Open Access.
At the Erasmus University, Open Access is the publication standard for short scientific work. Therefore, all EUR-researchers are required to make their publications Open Access, either by publishing in an Open Access journal or by making a version of the work available through the institutional repository Pure. For an overview of the different ways of publishing Open Access as an EUR researcher, please go to Open Access at EUR.
Most research funding organizations require publications resulting from their grants to be published Open Access. Follow the links below to find out more about the Open Access policies of the most relevant research funding organizations in the Netherlands:
If you are financed by a different funding organization, please consult the Sherpa Juliet database to find out about your funders’ Open Access requirements.
