Towards 100% Open Access

83.3% of the journal articles written by UU and UMCU authors in 2022 is open access available. This is a slight increase from 2021, when 80.7% was freely available.

Starting in 2024, journal articles and book chapters will automatically be published open access in the Utrecht University Repository. With this, Utrecht University will take the next step towards 100% Open Access.

Current figures per faculty and department are available in Utrecht University's Open Access monitor (via login with Solis-id). These figures may differ from the figures mentioned in this news item. The figures above are recorded at the fixed benchmark in March, while the figures in the monitor are updated regularly. In 2024, data on books, book chapters and conference proceedings will also be added.
