This document discusses open access (OA) scholarly publishing. It defines OA as providing unrestricted access via the internet to peer-reviewed scholarly articles. There are two main types of OA - green, which involves self-archiving articles in institutional or subject repositories, and gold, where the journal itself provides free access. However, not all OA is equal - it depends on the copyright license used, which determines whether the article can be freely reused (libre OA) or just accessed (gratis OA). The document advises researchers to carefully consider factors like copyright, licensing, costs and indexing when choosing an OA journal to publish in.
