Publish your book in Open Access with the KU Leuven Fund for Fair OA and Leuven University Press
In the guidelines you will find all you need to know about the application procedure. The wide reach of the books published with the support of the fund is demonstrated by the readership data that we share online. Information about how these data are collected, what they can and cannot tell us and why we should also be careful with metrics can be found in the following blogposts.
Open Access @ KU Leuven
KU Leuven supports both Green OA (self-archiving via Lirias) and Gold OA (KU Leuven Fund for Fair OA).
Keep in mind that as a KU Leuven researcher you are bound by a deposit obligation!
Funder requirements
Most research funders mandate OA, requiring you to make the output arising from the funded research available in OA. Find out more about what you need to do to ensure you comply:
Belgian OA legislation
The Belgian OA legislation enables you to share your journal articles in OA after an embargo period, regardless of the contract signed with the publisher. Take advantage of this OA opportunity that increases your number of citations and the visibility of your scholarly work!
