Green Open Access

EDP Open publishes peer reviewed articles in the “Gold Open Access” model. In addition, to serve the particular needs and requirements of scientific communities who are not in favour of this model, EDP Sciences also provide the facility to publish under the “Green Open Access” model and feed Green Repositories maintained by Institutions. Content published under the Green model will be made freely available in the EDP Open platform, once agreed embargo period is fulfilled.

All the articles published under the “Green Open Access” model can be exported to repositories and EDP Open manages many automatized deposits to repositories. Institutional Repositories should contact EDP Sciences for further information.
