New tools for Open Access

A Library & Information Centre Directorate Announcement, on behalf of HEAL-Link

Dear University Community Members,


We are pleased to announce the following:


Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link) has created two supportive tools for researchers interested in HEAL-Link’s Open Access programs following the example of Publisher Deals by the Dutch Academic Libraries, https://www.openaccess.nl/en/in-the-netherlands/publisher-deals.


The first tool is the ‘Index of Eligible Open Access Journals’, that will allow researchers to check whether a Journal they are interested in, is in any kind agreement with HEAL-Link (https://scholarly.heal-link.gr/oajournals/)


The index includes 4.695 e-Journals and replaces all previous existing lists (excel & pdf) which were of little use. The uploading process of the Journals΄ covers has already begun and will be completed in the following weeks.


The second tool is the ‘Guide to available Open Access options’, which offers a summary of all Open Access terms & conditions of HEAL-Link’s collaborating publishers, including those which do not have a program yet (https://scholarly.heal-link.gr/guide).

Kind Regards,

Valsamis Valsamakis

Director of NKUA Libraries
