According to the agreement between publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LLW) and the Universities of The Netherlands (UNL), Dutch corresponding authors are allowed to publish a maximum number of open access publications per year without additional article processing charges (APC): 270 articles in 2024, 273 in 2025 and 276 in 2026.
Consequences
The national annual quota for 2024 is expected to be reached the 3rd week of October. This means that from that moment the deal will be suspended and UG/UMCG articles will no longer be eligible for the usual 100% discount on the open access fee.
Dutch corresponding authors will be able to use the new allocation of OA fee waivers as of 1 January 2025.
Alternative routes
Please note: During the suspension of the deal authors can choose to publish closed access. If you choose to publish open access, you will have to arrange the APC payment yourself. Alternative routes may be the Taverne Amendment route or the Rights Retention Strategy, please contact us for additional information.
Should your research funder (e.g. NWO or Horizon Europe) require you to share your publications immediately (no embargo) and under an open license, please get in touch with us for advice.
