Publishing
Publishing your work: what are the options?
- Open Access Publication
Open Access is a global trend based on providing unrestricted access to research outputs, especially research that is financed by public funding.
Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, as an institute, endorses and encourages the Open Access availability of its educational and research-related knowledge products so making a contribution to knowledge creation and knowledge circulation. Zuyd University of Applied Sciences emphasized this intention by signing the Berlin Declaration on Open Access together with all other Dutch universities of applied sciences.
Zuyd University of Applied Sciences facilitates Open Access Publication with an in-house institutional repository, that saves and stores Zuyd University of Applied Sciences knowledge products and can display them on various platforms. Currently, knowledge products produced by lecturers can be found on HBO Kennisbank and through Google Scholar.
If you publish Open Access, this does not mean that you waive all your rights as the author. With a Creative Commons licence you keep the rights to your work but you clearly denote how others are allowed to use your work. This includes the circulation, sharing, and in the case of some licences, even the revision of the work.
- Publishing through a publisher
If you decide to publish your work through a publisher, several different agreements can be made. You can assign the copyright to the publisher, but there are also options where you can partially retain copyright. You can confirm this in the Licence to Publish.
SURF has developed several practical tools that allow you, as the author, to make agreements about copyright with a publisher. The author can also stipulate in which way his/her material may be used.
