OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS
Published OA articles use the Gold route
Gold is not an indication of quality
Is not always funded by Article Processing Charges
OA Journals can be fully Gold or Hybrid Gold
In a fully Gold OA Journal all articles can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection
Hybrid Gold is an option to make individual articles within a subscription journal OA
Additionally some journals may make all their work OA a certain time after publication (like 2-3 years)
ANOTHER OA JOURNAL
PLOS? = MASSIVE ONLINE OA JOURNAL
HYBRID
A hybrid Gold Journal follows
the traditional subscriptions
based publishing model
But will allow authors to pay to
make individual articles
available Open Access
This may be reflected in the
issue level menus as a traffic
light or open/closed padlock

Records may only have metadata – but can provide useful details
Records may have full text – but can be different versions

REPOSITORIES AND VERSIONS
Once you have discovered repository content you may need to check which version you are looking at in order to advise your users
Coversheets added by the repository may let you know
You can also trace back to the repository metadata to check there
Recognising a repository record from the URL can be helpful

PUBLISHERS PDF
METADATA & VERSION INFO
The best way to check the version you are looking at is to check the coversheet where possible or the information in the repository metadata

If you have found an article online and are trying to ascertain the rights and version, navigating back to the repository record can be the best way of finding out
OPEN ACCESS BOOKS
Open access and books becomes more tricky
Scholarly monographs are starting to make the move to OA
Textbooks may be slowest to make the move
