Currently 25% of the Dutch national research output published
in 2008 is available in Open Access.

Source: DRIVER,http://search1.driver.research-infrastructures.eu/webInterface/simpleSearch.

Attached I have given the search history so that anyone can
easily do their own country. One should be aware that some
countries are not (completely) represented in DRIVER. Currently
DRIVER harvests over 200 repositories from 23 countries.

For the moment we have no mandates. The Netherlands Research
Organisation NWO has announced one. Six or seven universities
have a mandate for doctoral theses.

      different about the air breathed in the
      Netherlands, all indications

      are that their institutional repositories, like
      repositories

      everywhere, are only capturing about 15% of their
      target output. That

      is the approximate deposit rate for spontaneous
      (unmandated)

      self-archiving, worldwide. Only deposit mandates
      can raise that

      deposit rate appreciably -- and so far the
      Netherlands has no OA

      mandates:
