A curated list of Diamond OA journals in the Netherlands

Description This dataset presents a curated list of Diamond Open Access (OA) journals based in the Netherlands. It is compiled and maintained by the project “Mapping and Monitoring Diamond OA in the Netherlands” as part of the national program “Strengthening Diamond OA in the Netherlands.” The list offers authors, librarians, open access advisors, open science communities, and policy makers a reliable overview of Dutch academic journals that publish open access, charge no mandatory fees to authors or readers, and are controlled by academic and not-for-profit research communities. Our working definition of Diamond OA is as follows: A Diamond Open Access (OA) journal is a scholarly journal that publishes all outputs with an open license (e.g., CC BY) immediately upon publication. Most importantly, the journal is free of any mandatory charges for authors, readers, and their institutions, and is controlled by a not-for-profit research community. For more information on sources and the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, see the About and Readme tabs in the spreadsheet below.
