Abstract
VSNU (Association of universities, the Netherlands)has issues a roadmap for open access for 2018-2020. It outlines their OA strategy for the indicated time period as being in line with the 100% OA ambition by 2020. As the driving force behind this key ambition, the VSNU/UKB must initiate collective policy and coordinate the main players in this field. Together with the main parties involved, agreements were made for 2018 - 2020 under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. It mentions Scholarly Hub abd SciPost as initiatives that are to give researchers and research funders greater control over the publication process. It states that an effective strategy can be organised by means of: 1.a unique negotiation model, 2.political support, 3.staying true to your principles, and 4.selecting a highly effective delegation of negotiators. The document does not specifically mention books.
