Diamond open access at the UG

The University of Groningen (UG) sees diamond open access as a sustainable, affordable and fair model for scholarly publishing. It is committed to supporting trustworthy diamond open access initiatives.

Diamond open access initiatives, for example, journals, publication platforms, etc., do not charge subscriptions fees, nor publication fees to authors. They are free to access/read and free to publish in, i.e. no Article Processing Charges or Book Processing Charges. These initiatives are usually non-profit, run by and for academics.
