Green and Gold Open Access
• Universities and research funding bodies have open
access policies, requiring the researchers to publish
their scientific articles open access For example
http://libguides.aalto.fi/openaccess
• Parallel publishing (green open access) takes place by
publishing articles usually after an embargo time in
university repository / can also be published in other
for example field specific repositories
• Gold open access provides immediate open access
provided by publisher and often involving an article
processing charge ( APC )
Open access requirement example
• For example Horizon 2020 requirements by EU
Commission ( H2020 Model Grant Agreement: Multibeneficiary General MGA )
• 29.2 Open access to scientific publications
• Each beneficiary must ensure open access (free of
charge, online access for any user) to all
• peer-reviewed scientific publications relating to its
results.
Horizon 2020 Grant agreement provisons
on open access
• In particular, it must:
• (a) as soon as possible and at the latest on publication,
deposit a machine-readable electronic copy of the
published version or final peer-reviewed manuscript
accepted for publication in a repository for scientific
publications;
• Moreover, the beneficiary must aim to deposit at the
same time the research data needed to validate the
results presented in the deposited scientific publications.
Horizon 2020 Grant agreement and open
access
• (b) ensure open access to the deposited publication —
via the repository — at the latest:
• (i) on publication, if an electronic version is available for
free via the publisher, or
• (ii) within six months of publication (twelve months for
publications in the social
• sciences and humanities) in any other case.
• (c) ensure open access — via the repository — to the
bibliographic metadata that identify
• the deposited publication.
Horizon 2020 Grant agreement
• The bibliographic metadata must be in a standard
format and must include all of the
• following:
• - the terms ["European Union (EU)" and "Horizon 2020"]
• - the name of the action, acronym and grant number;
• - the publication date, and length of embargo period if
applicable, and
• - a persistent identifier.
H2020 Open Research Data pilot
• Horizon 2020 pilot: if your data meets certain conditions,
you must deposit your data in a research data repository
and be findable and accessible for others. You are not
expected to share sensitive data or breach any IPR
agreements You do not need to deposit all the data you
generate – only that which underpins published
research findings and/or has longer-term value.
research’s integrity, Improved visibility, more impact – for
science, society, career. Citations increase when data is
made available alongside the publication; papers get
longer shelf-life.

Open access as spectrum
• Open access as spectrum
• The questions not “Is It Open Access?” it is
“HowOpenIsIt?®” https://www.plos.org/openaccess/howopenisit/
• Illustrates a continuum of “more open” versus “less
open”
• licenses are tools to define how open is it
• Creative Commons licenses are tools for defining open
when publishing and they define open for users
• https://creativecommons.org/choose/
Gold Open Access example
SpringerOpen
• All publications are deposited immediately upon
publication, without embargo, in an agreed format current preference is XML with a declared DTD - in at
least one widely and internationally recognized open
access repository

Green and Gold Open Access
• Open access by self-archiving the publication in the
university repository is free of charge for the author and
can meet the criteria of the funder. Publishers do not
always consent to allowing free-of-charge open access
in the time period required by funding agencies, from
the journal subscribers. Publishers offer open access for
an article processing charge (APC) and set an
embargo period for self-archiving. The embargo period
required by the publisher can be longer than the
embargo period allowed by the funding agency
