News - 08 October 2024

The maximum number of articles that can be published in open access under the national agreement with Springer Nature has been reached. As a result, TU Delft researchers may now encounter costs for publishing in open access. 

National Agreements on Open Access Publications 

The contract with Springer Nature specifies the number of articles that corresponding authors from Dutch universities and University Medical Centers (UMCs) can publish annually in open access without additional charges. TU Delft Library has established various national and bilateral agreements with publishers to ensure that TU Delft researchers can publish at no extra cost and comply with their funders' requirements.
