HybridFully OA

Authors deposit a version of their

manuscript in their institutional

repository or on any other website.

Making a paper freely available online

immediately on a publisher’s website

and published under a licence which

grants re-use rights to users. Often

involves payment of an APC.

Hybrid open access journals

provide Gold OA only for

articles for which their authors

(or their author's institution or

funder) pay an APC.

All content is open access and

made immediately available –

authors usually pay an APC.

including modifications based on referees’ suggestions, before it has undergone copyediting

and proof correction.

formally declaring the article “published”.

• Publish high quality, not high volume

• Experiment with different business models and share

evidence

• Engage with the author, society, reader, funder, and

industry communities

• Fair and sustainable OA charges and subscription pricing

• Efficient administration and author-friendly interface
