ScienceGuide - Open access contracten moeten openbaar

Summary:

From Google Translate: "There is a ruling in which Elsevier and Springer had brought against the Dutch universities over the disclosure of the open access point in their contracts. The objection is unfounded: openness so.

Last April, the appeals board heard the parties on the matter in various occupations, mostly behind closed doors. The latter was necessary because the new contracts for subscriptions that negotiated the VSNU and the publishers would be 'internationally sensitive' information. This information universities may now disclose.

Find  the ruling in Elsevier and Springer .

The universities were forced to open by former librarian Leo Waaijers in a Freedom of Information Act request in September 2016  submitted. He wanted to inspect the arrangements were made around open access publications in various publishers, so you could see the audience and got value for money.

All universities except the University of Amsterdam, would respond here, but two of the publishers Elsevier and Springer, strike a stop to this. Together, Springer and Elsevier have more than half in the hands of the Dutch market."
