Open access: ook NWO wil het eerlijker en gelijkwaardiger Hans Radder betoogt hoe dringend eerlijk open access nodig is. Ook NWO ziet de problemen die hij benoemt, en werkt al hard aan manieren om het systeem eerlijker en gelijkwaardiger te maken.

Ik scheef een korte reactie op een stuk in de @advalvas.bsky.social. In dat artikel werd de zorg geuit dat het huidige #openaccess beleid in Nederland tot grote ongelijkheden leidt.

Een zorg die NWO deelt, maar er zijn wel degelijk positieve veranderingen gaande: advalvas.vu.nl/wetenschap-o...

Five Dutch journals ‘flip’ to diamond open access | NWO Five scientific journals have received a grant from NWO to switch from a subscription model. They will adopt the diamond open access model: a form of open access in which not only is the content freely available to readers, but authors also do not have to pay to publish their articles. The NWO executive board has allocated a total of over 187,000 euros for this.

Five Dutch journals are flipping to #DiamondOpenAccess with support from NWO — free to read and publish. An inspiring step towards a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable research ecosystem. Making research accessible to everyone, everywhere.
