LUMC Open Access publication policy
The LUMC believes it is important that its research results are made available as openly accessible as possible. For you as researcher, there are two routes to publish open access:
- You publish in a journal with whom Dutch universities have signed a deal. The Open Access fee will be waivered or reduced.
- New option since 2022: The library staff of Walaeus will make your publication open access in the Leiden repository 6 months after publication. Important: you have to make sure to register your publication in Converis!
