3. Gold OA publishing refers primarily to journal publishing where access is free of charge to readers, and the authors, their employing or funding organizations pay for publication. Green OA self-archiving operates in parallel with subscription publishing and refers to the situation where academic authors deposit their work in on-line open access repositories, making it freely available to anyone with Internet access.
