  Open access (OA)materials are: • accessible at no cost on a journal website or in a repository committed to long-term archiving • available for all to read, download, print, copy, share, etc. (attribution always required, of course) Many kinds of documents can be made OA: scholarly journal articles, books, curricular materials, conference presentations, dissertations, college documents, and much more. What Is Open Access?

  • Gold OA "GoldOA" means publishing with publishers that automatically and immediately make the work available online to all at no cost. Most Gold OA publishers are journal publishers, but a few book publishers make their books OA. • Green OA "Green OA" refers to materials that, regardless of where else they appear, are made available (usually by the author) at no charge in an online open access repository committed to long-term preservation. Use Sherpa Romeo to find out individual publisher policies. The Colors of Open Access

  Finding Gold OAArticles • Articles from Gold OA journals are freely available online and therefore easily findable via Google and Google Scholar. • In addition, library databases index OA journals. (Of course they do!) • E.g., Scopus indexes 18,500+ peer-reviewed journals, including 1800+ peer- reviewed OA journals. • Upshot: You will find OA articles naturally when you use Google, Google Scholar, and library databases.
• 7.
  OA = anyonecan read the journal OA ≠ anyone can publish in the journal • OA journals are real journals. Publishing in an OA journal is not self-publishing or vanity publishing! • OA journals prove themselves the same way other journals do: through the quality of their articles and the prominence of the people they attract as authors, editorial board members, etc. Research an OA journal just like you would a non- OA journal!
• 8.
  A journal's peerreview policy is independent of its business model. • Most scholarly journals, open access and toll access, are peer reviewed. • (Some open access journals are not peer reviewed; some toll access journals are not peer reviewed.)
