New: Open Access Publication in the Spotlight

This month, the University of Groningen Library launches a new initiative: the open access publication in the spotlight. Each month, the library’s open access team will select a recent publication by UG authors that was published open access. This publication is highlighted via e.g., the social media, newsletters and the Open Science Blog.

Article in the spotlight for September 2020

• The Effects of Migrant Background and Parent Gender on Child Protection Decision-Making: An Intersectional Analysis, co-authored by Floor Middel and Mónica López López (Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences).

In our Open Science Blog, the authors reflect on their motivation to publish open access, their choice to pick a specific journal and their experiences with open access and open science in general.

About Open Access in the Spotlight
