In addition to setting up a single integrated technical publication platform, we will be working on the development of a joint catalogue of editorial services, such as typesetting, metadata management and archiving. A harmonised publication policy, joint ownership and a funding model for journals are also part of the project.

The initiative represents a significant step towards strengthening Diamond Open Access in the Netherlands and expanding the opportunities for academic community-led, non-profit publications.

We are making the national infrastructure available to university presses, research institutes and other research organisations that wish to manage and publish their own academic output.

• An easy access platform for academic publishing services
• Catalogue of high quality editorial services
• Publication policies
• Sustainable financing model for infrastructure and journals
• Shared governance model
