Open access policy
Knowledge is power and power must be shared
The open access policy outlined below applies to publications supported and published by the Stichting OpenAccess, as listed in the catalogue.
The publications supported and published by the Stichting OpenAccess fall under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). Included works may be copied, shared, and distributed as long as authors and editors are properly accredited. Any amendments to the original work need to be indicated. This agreement does not directly or indirectly endorse third-party views or how the information is used in other formats.
The publications supported and published by the Stichting OpenAccess allow their authors and editors to retain their copyright and publishing rights without restrictions. The work remains firmly yours, and you won't have to sign away your rights.
Authors and editors can archive the 'preprint' and 'postprint' versions of the work they have submitted to one of the publications supported and published by the Stichting OpenAccess. This includes the PDF version of an article, pre-print, e-print, monograph, edited book, paper, or conference proceeding (the so-called publisher's version) that we make available.
Authors and editors are explicitly free to copy and redistribute the work they have submitted in any medium or format, and to remix, transform, and build upon the work they have submitted to one of the publications supported and published by the Stichting OpenAccess for any purpose.
