Publisher John Wiley and Sons, Inc. and the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) have announced an agreement of unlimited open access publication of Dutch academic articles combined with expanded subscription access to high-quality research.
The negotiations between VSNU and Wiley resulted in an unprecedented agreement covering 2016 - 2019. It provides students and researchers at Dutch universities affiliated to the VSNU with access to all Wiley subscription journal content and enables authors at Dutch universities affiliated to the VSNU to enjoy unlimited open access publication in Wiley's hybrid journals (c.1400), with no publishing charge levied at the article level. This arrangement will contribute to significant growth in open access articles published from the Netherlands.
The Dutch universities and the Dutch government support open access to academic publications. Open access is also a priority during the Dutch presidency of the EU. VSNU believes open access publications are easier to find, and have the potential to be more frequently cited and reach a larger audience. This benefits not just the academic community, but society and the economy at large.
