Journals waiving fees for the authors from developing countries, those with financial hardships
Individual author
OA optionsGreen OAGreen OA - authors publish an article and self-archive in a repository peer-reviewed post-print (revised final or the publisher’s version of the article).
“Green” light is dependent on the Publisher Copyright Policies and Self-Archiving
Gold OAGold OA authors publish in an open-access journal with immediate OA to all of its contents on the publisher’s website
Hybrid OAHybrid OA – access is open only for journal articles for which their authors/funders pay a fee

Advantages of OA: citations• Analysis of OA vs. non-OA articles published in
June-Dec 2004 the Proceedings of the NAS (PNAS)
• 212 (14.2%) – OA• 1,280 (85.8%) - non-OA• After 10-16 months post-publication
average citations of OA articles were 6.4 vs. 4.5; P<0.001, and
after correction for confounders OA articles were 3 times more likely to be cited
