In the Netherlands, publishing a journal generally does not require specific authorisation from the government. However, there are a few important considerations:
- Copyright and Intellectual Property: Ensure that you respect copyright laws and intellectual property rights when publishing articles. This involves securing permissions from authors and respecting any licensing agreements.
- Data Protection: If you’re handling personal data (e.g., for authors, reviewers), compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is essential.
- Content Regulations: While there is a high level of freedom of expression, you should avoid publishing content that could be deemed illegal, such as hate speech or defamatory material.
- Verification: We confirm the verification of those who are actively publishing content on formal entities in Netherlands such as on newspaper or magazines.
