Academic publisher Brill has announced that Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam has decided to join Brill's Open Access Membership Program. This program allows VU authors to submit their paper for Open Access publication in the Brill journal program with two options to choose from.
They can choose to submit their paper to one of Brill’s broad full Open Access journals: Brill Open Humanities, Brill Open Social Sciences, Brill Open Law, or Brill Open Biology, with Open Access fees fully covered by the membership program. They can also opt for submission to one of Brill's over 200 hybrid journals, the Open Access fees of which are partially sponsored by the membership program.
Brill Open offers increased online visibility and free accessibility, rigorous peer review and editorial support, full author and funder recognition, high-quality publication standards, and compliance with OA requirements.
