GDCh and Open Access

Posted on by

The Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (German Chemical Society) published a position paper on the future of scientific publishing and the transformation to Open Access. It recommends its authors the green open access model. This means to archive articles that are published in conventional journals in institutions’ own e-print archives (e.g. MPG PuRe) allowing free access.

OA Week 2011 – Green Road and Golden Road

The principle of open access publication is seen by many involved as an alternative publication model. Open access refers to unrestricted access to scientific information on the internet.

Two methods are used here: on the one hand, to archive articles that are published in conventional journals in institutions’ own e-print archives (repositories), which are sustained by the respective institutions (open access green), allowing free access and, on the other, the specific promotion of open access journals (open access gold).
