Green and Diamond OA are terms to describe avenues to making research open that do not require authors to pay article processing charges (APCs).
Green Open Access (aka Self-Archiving)
-
While the library does have some agreements in place to cover APCs, when a publishing agreement or other publishing fee support isn't available, the Library recommends targeting journals that have self-archiving policies, also known as "Green Open Access."
-
These policies permit authors to place a pre-publication copy of their manuscripts online at places like a personal homepage or an institutional repository such as the OHSU Digital Collections.
-
Use the Sherpa Romeo database to look up self-archiving policies for specific journals or publishers or ask the library for assistance identifying publishers with such policies.
-
Use the How can I share it? tool to learn how you can share and self-archive the work you've already published.
-
Consult our Digital Collections Guide for more information about depositing your work in the OHSU Digital Collections.
Diamond OA
-
Some open access journals are both free to read and free to publish in, this is known as "Diamond OA."
-
Over 10,000 English-language Diamond OA journals may be browsed at the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
