The Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and academic publisher Oxford University Press have announced a new three year deal covering subscriptions to OUP's journals and 100% open access to Dutch contributions in these journals in 2019 and 2020.
Last year, the negotiations between VSNU and OUP were suspended due to differences in position. Both parties have announced a deal, including the agreement to allow 100% of the publications by Dutch corresponding authors in OUP's hybrid journals to become available open access (based on the number of publications in 2016: 760).
The agreement for 2018-2020 was negotiated by the VSNU on behalf of all Dutch research universities and will take effect immediately. It also includes the subscription access which OUP continued to offer to Dutch universities during 2017.
