What is the Green route (Green OA)?

The Green Roadroute refersis the publication model used when there is no publishing agreement with a hybrid journal, or when a subscription journal offers no Open Access publication option at all. Publishing in Open Access in this type of journal implies paying both for the publication and for access to the parallelrest of the journal. This is called "double dipping" and is not tolerated by the institution.

This type of publication consists, according to the publisher's criteria, of asharing the final version of one's manuscript (peer-reviewed, but before typesetting by the manuscriptjournal) in an open repository,repository such as your institutional repository IRIS or self-archiving.a Opendiscipline-based repositoriesrepository. canThis beis institutional,also referred to as our own SERVAL, or disciplinary.self-archiving.
