Green road

The Green Road refers to Open Access publishing by depositing a version of the manuscript in Serval and opening it after an embargo period.

In order to enable them to fulfil their OA mandates, UNIL offers their researchers its institutional repository, Serval, to self-archive and follow the Green Road.

UNIL researchers can request funding for Green OA for books through the Fonds de publications UNIL.
