Open access briefing paper: Alternatives to green and gold for journal articles and conference papers
No full textThis paper was published as part of Open Access Week 2018.
Much of the debate and policy direction on OA over the past 10-20 years has been dominated by two particular routes to OA for short-form research publications, that is via repositories and via journals (“green” and “gold”) and, where “gold”, then a specific model based on publication charges (APCs). However, those were never the only routes available, and the range of options is now wider than before.
This paper outlines some of those options that are specifically suitable for peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers, but does not attempt to evaluate their relative merits. Some of the associated issues are reviewed in an EC workshop report
