Open access publishing

As a learned society and publisher of the open acces journal BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review, KNHG is actively involved in the open access debate. BMGN currently bears the ‘Diamond’ open access status, also known as ‘Platinum’. This means that all published articles are immediately and freely available, the copyrights stay with the author and no fee is asked from the authors to be able to publish their work. The entire archive of published articles can be found and consulted at the BMGN-LCHR website.
