Researchers at Erasmus University Rotterdam can benefit from the many agreements that VSNU and the consortium of Dutch university libraries have concluded with publishers.
Within the available Library budget agreements are concluded that enable EUR researchers* to publish in high-quality journals for free or at a discount. Currently, more than 11,000 magazines are covered by these publisher agreements. Keep in mind that only (submitting) corresponding authors can claim the waiver that is offered by a publisher deal. So, make sure this role is assigned to an EUR-researcher when opting for a journal that is part of a publisher deal.
* Corresponding authors who are teaching and research staff employed by Erasmus University (incl. ISS) or Erasmus MC.
Erasmus Journal Browser
The Erasmus Journal Browser is useful tool to find out in which journals you can publish for free or against reduced rates. The Journal Browser is periodically updated, but no rights may be derived from its contents.
Ensure your participation
Below you will find a detailed description per publisher of the actions in the publication process that are required to take advantage of the discount on Open Access.
Please note that only a corresponding author that submits the manuscript to the publisher can claim the waiver that is offered by a publisher deal. It is important to always use your EUR email address in all correspondence with the publisher.
Some publishers allow a maximum amount of open access publications each year. It sometimes happens that the cap is reached before the end of the year. If your manuscript is accepted between the moment the cap is reached and 1st January 2026, publishers will still offer to publish your article Open Access, but the costs will no longer be covered by the consortium agreement and you will receive an invoice. Researchers who want to stay informed about the status of the capped deals and want to get notified when a cap is almost reached, can sign in for an ‘notify-me serviceOpens external’.
