Summary:
[From Google's English] "Who outside the university walls google scientific articles, quickly runs into digital pay walls. Research done by common money is not always available for the community. That has always been so, but before, when scientific journals were made of paper and had to be stored somewhere, there was no choice. In the Internet era is that there is a choice, and appears also in science called Open Access journals, which have been free for everyone. Sander Dekker Secretary of Education, Culture and Science wants all Dutch research through Open Access is accessible by 2024 . To meet that deadline, sixty percent must already be far in 2019. 'For some disciplines is not or hardly customary, in some disciplines there are few open access journals available. Also, there are disciplines where books are the usual way of publishing. That makes the ambitious goals ', gives Dekker in his letter. What makes it too ambitious, that publishing this way is expensive. Who wants to publish under open access conditions, in the journal Nature pays about three and a half thousand euros extra. Dekker draws in his letter no extra money for that cost. That had the British government did, however, 'This does not lead to an accelerated transition, but a continuation of the transition.' If the Dutch move does not come naturally, will Dekker and his minister drafting an amendment that makes it mandatory. On the disclosure of research, for subsidizing NWO an important requirement, nothing in the letter. Dekker considers that if a different topic, with other interests."
