I make the distinction between gold open-access and platinum open-access. Author fees + free to reader = gold open access No author fees + free to reader = platinum open access This discussion, I think, demonstrates that this distinction is significant and worthy of a separate a

[GOAL] Re: Hat Tip: Let's not leave Humanities behind in the dash for open access

I find that distinction very useful, although mixed models like small submission fees, OA subscriptions (PEERJ) and others seem to arise ... Platinum OA actually implies that public research institutions (incl. charities) should (at least partly) increase their funding of academic OA publishi

As I mentioned in my brief review which linked to Peter Webster's article, he isn't saying humanities scholars will reject OA, but there needs to be nuance within the larger conversation. His articulation was helpful to alert us to the fact that different disciplines take differing approaches to

A Platinum OA journal is, to my mind, an OA journal which is completely BOAI-compliant (CC:BY, content mining, e.g.) but where the cost of the journal is not covered by APCs but by other sources like research institution, academic societies, funders e.g. But that is not Green OA! The problem

[GOAL] Re: Hat Tip: Let's not leave Humanities behind in the dash for open access

I think platinum open-access involves publishers and their journals or very often single journals, but green open-access is essentially self-archiving, including self-archiving of previously published stuff, usually in an institutional or disciplinary repository. Here's an example of what I wo

Like Stevan Harnad, I say: enough with colours! The important thing to remember is that gold OA is not, repeat *NOT* limited to author-pay schemes. There are indeed many journals that are gratis to authors and libre to readers (e.g. SciELO and RedALyC journals in latin America and beyond). To my m
