  • Training & Support

    The national website about Open Access, www.openaccess.nl, gives information, updates, and news about open access publishing for various stakeholders in the Netherlands.

    Visual material in order to promote open access is available at open access.nl. Dutch universities make great efforts to inform their academic staff about open access via web pages, special newsletters and the like. Symposiums and a range of other activities are held across the country each year during international Open Access Week. Every university has trained open access staff like repository managers and data librarians to support the researchers.

    On the national website, www.openaccess.nl, you can find information about the monitoring of open access articles and the framework with open access definitions.

    Research Data Netherlands (RDNL) provides the course Essentials 4 Data Support. This is an introductory course for those who provide support to researchers in storing, managing, archiving and sharing their research data (data support staff).
