DESCRIPTION
In the Netherlands, secretary of state for Science & Education, Mr. Dekker, in 2013 made it clear that he wants the Dutch contribution to the global scholarly record to be 100% open accessible in 2024, and already 60% in 2019. For Dekker, the only road to achieve this is the ‘golden road’: articles published in open access journals, preferably full open access, but hybrid OA is allowed. At the same time he announced that he is not willing to pay any extra money for it and called upon all parties, publishers, universities / research institutes and funders, to work out the details, change business models and make The Netherlands the first 100% OA country in the world. Are the Dutch going for Fool's gold?

In all cases, the Commission would like to encourage authors to retain their copyright and
grant adequate licences to publishers.

The Netherlands: Going for Gold

Secretary of State Dekker (2013)
19-10-2014Fool's gold OA?
• OA is hugely important.• OA is a cross-border matter.• Relevant parties (researchers, universities, publishers) have not been able to reach a
single OA-system.
• Urges Dutch parties to negotiate gold OA with next ‘big deals’ (Q4, 2014).
• Targets: 40% OA in 2016, 100% OA in 2024.
• Full OA or hybrid.
• Has no interest for green OA.
• No extra money from the government.
Warns parties involved:
If the relevant parties do not do enough, or progress is unacceptably slow, the Minister
and I will recommend making open access publication mandatory in 2016 under the
Higher Education and Research Act (…).

Calls upon researchers to:
• use green OA today
• co-operate to achieve gold OA
• hybrid OA permitted as transition

• Negotiate big deals: Elsevier, Springer, Wiley (Q4, 2014).
• Position: 0% price increase, 100% gold OA.
• Firm stance, united.
• Articles only.
• Does not include (yet?):
• data
• machine readibility, data / text mining
• archiving

• If cost for licenses are high, how about APC’s?
How much OA can today’s licenses buy?
• Does the burden fall on research intensive institutions?
• Are we subsidizing hybrid OA and ‘double dipping’?
• No effect on copyright issues, on text / data mining?
But then again:
• 100% OA for a country as a whole, at zero (?) additional cost.
• Societal, economical benefits.
• Snowball effect? On other publishers? Other countries?

What can you do?
Fool's gold OA? 19-10-2014
What any researcher can already do to promote (proper) Open Access:
• stop reviewing closed-access papers
• stop reviewing for non-gold Open Access journals
• submit only to full-gold Open Access journals
• put your previous closed-access papers in university repositories
• make previously published closed-access papers gold Open Access
• get an ORCID
• use #altmetrics to see that gold Open Access gives you more impact for your
