The document discusses the steps researchers must take after a paper is accepted for either gold or green open access. For gold open access, researchers must inform their faculty and library immediately so funds can be released to pay article processing charges, which the library then pays to the publisher. For green open access, researchers should check if their funder has an agreement with the publisher for deposit or self-archive in the institutional repository with correct permissions and embargoes. In both cases, the accepted paper is then published online with open access.

1. After the Paper is Accepted

2. Accepted for Gold Open Access?

3. Accepted for Gold Open Access?
• Researchers need to inform their Faculty – Department/School/
Institution/The Joint Research Management Office, whichever is
applicable – immediately upon the acceptance of their paper so
that funds can be released for publication charges
• The Library needs to be informed immediately for the
administration of the Article Processing Charge
• The Library contacts the publisher and, once the publisher raises
an invoice and sends it to the Library, the Library pays the Article
Processing Charge
• The paper gets published online in a fully open access or hybrid
(only articles that are paid for would be open access) journal with
free immediate access to it by everyone
