Library Support for Researchers: Series 5: Publishing in Open Access

 Open Access models

There are three main Open Access models, some of which attract fees:

  • Green OA: Authors can self-archive accepted manuscripts at the time of submission of the publication, via an institutional or subject repository. This is the model supported by UOW's Open Access Policy.

  • Gold OA: Authors publish in an Open Access journal where free online access is available to all readers. Some OA journals require the author to pay a publication fee (Article Processing Charge – APC). Gold OA may be supported and funded at the Faculty level where strategically or otherwise appropriate (UOW's Open Access Policy).

  • Hybrid OA: Authors pay a fee for their article to be made Open Access even though it is in a subscription journal.
