Abstract

The current VU policy mandates OA for all scientific publications from its employees. Scientific publications from VU employees must: • be registered by recording their metadata in the university Current Research Information System (CRIS/Pure). • be made immediately openly accessible under an open licence (Creative Commons, preferably CC-BY) whenever possible, to promote the accessibility, use and reuse of the publications. • be kept under the copyright of the author, whenever possible. • be deposited in the university repository, taking into account the following conditions: - For publications that are made Open Access immediately under an open licence through a publisher, the version of record (final published PDF version) must become immediately available through the VU institutional repository. If a publication is already openly available in another trusted repository, employees only need to supply a link to the publication by its persistent identifier (e.g., DOI) as long as it refers to that repository. - For publications where the copyright is owned by the publisher (closed access), the version of record must become freely available through the VU institutional repository after the publisher’s embargo period has ended. Please note that embargoes on monographs might be perpetual. Short scientific works that are wholly or partly funded by the Dutch government must be made freely available to the general public through the institutional repository after a reasonable period, as per Article 25fa of Dutch Copyright Act. This procedure contains an opt-out clause. The policy does not mention books specifically, it does not explain what is covered by "scientific publications".
