The Academy has three open access agreements that all researchers at the institutes can use: Cambridge University Press, Elsevier, and Wiley.
Reading access applies to all journals belonging to the publishers with which there is a contract (so including Cell and The Lancet). Every KNAW employee has direct automatic access to the content licences from workstations within the Academy.
Every researcher is entitled to publish open access articles free of charge, subject to the following conditions:
- s/he is affiliated to an Academy research institute, and also
- is the corresponding author of the article concerned.
This agreement does not cover all journals. You can check this via the journal browser (select ‘KNAW’ in the ‘I am a researcher at …’ box).
