Categories of Open Access
• Gold OA—hosted by a publisher with no barriers to access – Example: PLoS Biology
http://www.plosbiology.org/home.action
• Green OA—materials deposited for archiving/access that may have once been in a traditional publication– Example: PubMed Central
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/
Categories
• Hybrid Open Access Journal—some articles are free, because a publication fee was paid (usually by the author) to the publisher – Example: Publishers offering a hybrid option—American Chemical
Society, Wiley, Cambridge, Sage
• Delayed Open Access Journal—traditional journals that provide free or open access after an embargo period– Example: Journal of Experimental Biology
http://jeb.biologists.org/
