Open access agreement for authors at eligible Dutch institutions

Publish open access with Wiley

Beginning 4 March 2016, authors affiliated with Dutch Universities/UMCs (VSNU) may publish primary research and review articles open access in any of Wiley's hybrid journals (subscription-based journals which offer an open access option at no charge to the author).

To publish without having to pay additional Article Publication Charges, the article's responsible corresponding author must be from an eligible university or UMC and the article must have been accepted on or after 4 March 2016. (View Eligible Universities)

You can be confident that by choosing open access your work has the best chance to be read, cited and shared. Read more about the advantages of publishing open access here.

When selecting open access, your institution and many funders strongly recommend choosing CC BY license (rather than CC BY-NC or CC BY-NC-ND) where available.
