Implementing art. 25fa Aw

All Dutch universities, university medical centers, and the National Platform Open Science are enhancing open access by broadly implementing the Taverne amendment (Article 25fa Aw). The UMCG will automatically make UMCG authors' publications in a journal or edited volume of a book, available in the institutional repository (Pure) six months after their initial publication.

Important: Social network platforms like ResearchGate or Academia.edu are great for networking but not for legally or sustainably sharing papers, including those under the Taverne amendment.

For questions, email openaccess@umcg.nl. If a publisher contacts you about an open access publication, email the Medical Library at openaccess@umcg.nl, and they will handle it.

For more details, UMCG employees can visit the Medical Library intranet pages.

The 'old' policy of Green Open Access by depositing your article to the library is no longer applicable. Usually the 'Accepted Author Manuscript (AAM)' (post-print, final author's version etc.) can be made publicly available after a 12 month embargo. The Taverne embargo (see box above) is 6 months and with that the version of record (publisher's version) is made available. Therefore the current policy is aimed at making publications open access via the Taverne amendment.

There can be some exceptions: Some journals permit the immediate depositing of the AAM into a repository. If that is the case then we can make it publicly available right away. 

For questions or if you want to know how long the embargo period will be, contact pure@umcg.nl

Ask your question to the Medical Library during opening hours.
