Routes to Open Access
There are two routes to Open Access:
- Green Open Access or self-archiving, where the author deposits a version of their article, conference paper, book chapter or other research output into a research repository
- Gold Open Access or Open Access publishing, where the output is made freely available online immediately upon publication
