Meet the Tijdschrift voor Jeugdgezondheidszorg: innovation in youth health care!
The Tijdschrift voor Jeugdgezondheidszorg (TJGZ) is aimed at professionals in youth health care, such as youth doctors and youth nurses. The journal keeps professionals working in this field informed about important practical experiences, research findings and related topics relevant to preventive care for children and adolescents aged 0-23. Eveliene Dera-de Bie, editor-in-chief of TJGZ, is keen to share knowledge and contribute to development within the field.
Why cooperate with Openjournals?
Eveliene Dera-de Bie: ‘TGJZ switched to Openjournals because the platform fits well with the journal’s open access mission. This allows us to publish our articles according to the diamond open access model. And the support and accessibility of Openjournals have added value!’
Open Science and Open Access
‘Open Science and Open Access are very important to TJGZ, it ensures that research is accessible to everyone. Of course there are challenges, such as getting more visibility and continuing to improve the process.’
Working with Openjournals
The experience with Openjournals is described as positive. ‘The platform makes everything clear and helps us smoothly through the peer review process. Sometimes it takes some time to get used to new features, but problems are always solved quickly.’
Future plans and challenges
‘We see potential in working with Openjournals to increase our visibility. Our goal? To remain an accessible, inspiring journal, where young researchers and students can also share their work. Of course we have challenges, such as keeping processes efficient, but we also see opportunities, for example in the use of AI’.
