The Utrecht University (UU) Publishing Support department presents the Open Access Toolkit. This is a tool for UU/UMCU staff to get better acquainted with the possibilities of publishing a research article or book(chapters) open access. Each open access route has advantages and disadvantages, which are discussed in detail in the Toolkit. In addition, each route has a checklist and a description of the services offered by the publishing support department of the Utrecht University Library. It helps the reader to make trade-offs in terms of budget and licences, for example, depending on the department’s priorities.

Updates & feedback

Given the dynamic landscape of Open Access, the Toolkit will be updated regularly. Feedback is welcome at library.publishingsupport@uu.nl.
