Definition

Open Access to scientific publications refers to:

  • Peer-reviewed scientific-research journal articles and their manuscript-authored versions
  • Conference contributions, monographs, anthological articles, textbooks and commentary-type publications containing scientific information

What is it about:

This is free and unlimited online access to this information with authorization for further use of the content through so-called public licenses.

How can the project condition be fulfilled:

The Open Access project condition can be fulfilled in two basic ways. It is possible to choose (according to the license conditions of the publisher):

  1. The gold way - publishing in open journals (OA provided by publishers)​
  2. The green way - auto-archiving (publication) in open repositories (OA provided by authors)

There are other ways, too:

Hybrid way (Hybrid OA) - the journal is available as part of a subscription, only selected articles. If the author pays the fee for open publishing, it is published in the Open Access mode. For the institution, however, this is a so-called double payment. For this reason, for some providers, this path is not tolerated as a fulfilment of the OA project conditions (e.g. Horizon Europe).

Bronze Path (Bronze OA) - publishing in journals without an attached license

Platinum/Diamond Path (Diamond OA) - publishing in open access journals without APC
