 What is Open Access?

 

The information on this page focuses on the basic concepts that underpin the Open Access (OA) movement, and which are key to understanding its significance and the strategies formulated over 10 years ago in the movement’s founding declarations.

 

 Open Access publishing: the gold route

 

The first way to achieve open access is to publish in an OA journal (gold route). Here you will find information on journals of this kind and funding available to publish in them.

 

 Open Acces publishing 

 

 Open Access via repositories: the green road

 
As an alternative or complement to publishing in an OA journal, any published article can be self-archived in a repository (green road). This section explains how to do this.
 
 
 

 Open Access policies and guidelines

 

This section provides information on OA policies and guidelines that can affect you as a researcher, including the University of Barcelona’s institutional policy, the article on Open Access contained in the Spanish Law on Science, and European guidelines on Open Access.
