== Levels of Open Access == :::: While there are no legally binding terms, the below are the generally accepted definitions. === Article Level === ::::* Gold - typically available immediately ::::* Green - a version* of the manuscript is made available in an open repository, often after an embargo ::::* Bronze - a publisher may choose to make article freely available (though not obliged), this may be temporary :::: <small>*Articles go through many versions; two main ones are: The "version of record" is the copy of the article publishers publish and an "author accepted manuscript" is the final copy submitted to the publisher by the author.</small> === Journal Level === ::::* Hybrid - a subscription journal with an option for "Gold" articles funded by a fee paid by the author (or on their behalf) ::::* Gold - "Gold" articles funded by a fee paid by the author (or on their behalf) ::::* Platinum/Diamond - articles are Gold open without fees (journal is institutionally or sponsor supported) == Open Access and Gentle Science == :::: Published scientific information – largely supported by the society - should be accessible in general, without separation of privileged ‘rich’ institutions and limited access in underdeveloped countries. Open access and open-source initiatives should be supported in the spirit of [[Gentle Science]]. :::: Open Access publication is available for educational purposes, and is not to be used for any commercial application. This guideline conforms to the principle of Open Access, for world-wide scientific distribution. If this particular Open Access approach may be considered contradictory to some outdated commercial interests of scientific publishers, and if such publishers disagree with the presently proposed approach, we will not provide any further information to such commercially oriented and restricting scientific publishers.

This leads to different ratings of 'open'. ::::* Some scientists complete and publish their theses (PhD and other), without ever facing in their education any discussion on 'open access publication'. ::::* Some funding bodies with open-access criteria will not cover the article-processing charge of hybrid journals. ::::* Some libraries have funding available to support open-access publication fees. == Some links to Open Access == ::::* [http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=7278d6c1c80671420f02050e3&id=e64bd2197d&e=oUP2mxVk8W Open Access, but same impact] ::::* [http://www.biotechniques.com/BiotechniquesJournal/2015/February/From-the-Editor/biotechniques-356596.html?utm_source=BioTechniques+Newsletters+%26+e-Alerts&utm_campaign=ce05bc822f-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5f518744d7-ce05bc822f-86598520 THE CLOUDY FUTURE OF SCIENCE PUBLISHING], retrieved from http://www.biotechniques.com (2015-02-18) ::::* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access; compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science ::::* http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm ::::* http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/ ::::* http://www.arl.org/sparc/openaccess/ ::::* http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/bethesda.htm ::::* http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTempl&templ=links&uiLanguage=en ::::* http://scholarlyoa.com/ ::::* http://www.freejournalsact.com ::::* http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cre2.1/abstract ::::* To add information (continue the discussion, suggest links etc.) you may log in or send us information by Email; in any case, please contact [[MitoEAGLE|MitoEAGLE]] (Email: mitoeagle@imed-ac-at). == Preprints for [[Gentle Science]] == {{MitoFit preprint}} {{Gentle Science}} [[Category:BEC]]
