A guide to publish articles in Open Access
Overview of Open Access publishing and rules for EU projects
Material kindly provided by Mathilde Pascal, ILL.
Open Access options
There are two ways to make an article open access:
- Self-archiving (green open access): depositing an article in an online open archive. Before you deposit your article, check the conditions applied by the publisher for self-archiving (embargo periods, etc.).
- Open access publishing (gold open access): making an article directly available in open access on the journal’s website. Most publishers offer this option against payment of article processing charges (APCs).
A list of open access journals in physics, chemistry and materials science is available here.
At the bottom of this page you can download a guide for open access as well as see a flowchart on how to publish in open access.
For EU projects
All scientific peer-reviewed publications resulting from European projects funded through the H2020 programme must be available in open access. You can find the European Commission’s guidelines here.
- All peer-reviewed articles must be deposited in a repository at the latest by the moment of publication;
- Self-archived articles must be available in open access within 6 months of publication;
- Gold OA articles must be available in open access at the moment of publication.
