Differences Between Gold and Green Open Access
Gold and Green Open Access (OA) are two primary models of making research freely available. Below is a detailed comparison of their key differences:
Which One to Choose?
- Gold Open Access is preferred when researchers want immediate global visibility and are willing (or funded) to pay APCs.
- Green Open Access is an alternative for those who publish in subscription journals but still want to share their work without paying fees.
Both models contribute to Open Science, ensuring knowledge is accessible worldwide. Platforms like Scholar9 and OJSCloud support Gold OA publishing, helping journals and researchers manage high-quality Open Access content efficiently.
