Open Access

Green Open Access Day

Green OA Day is a grassroots library initiative established by Erica Finch to promote and provide education about green open access (OA). Also referred to as self-archiving, green OA is when authors make a version of their published, paywalled works freely accessible on some kind of website or repository so that anyone with internet access can read and learn from it.

Green OA is a cost-effective and equitable pathway to making research open access, especially for authors who can’t afford to pay the article processing fees charged by gold and hybrid OA journals. It’s also a pathway towards meeting funder requirements for open access!

Join us on March 18th at 11:00am for a virtual discussion about self-archiving works and the resources available to help you achieve your OA goals.
