Open Access
What is Open Access?
Open Access means that scientific publications are made freely available on the web. The author retains the copyright to the material, but gives users permission to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or wholly link text without demanding compensation.
The University of Oslo's Open Access Policy (link): All members of staff employed by UiO after 4 July 2013 are obliged to deposit a post‐print version of scientific articles produced in connection with the employment relationship into the institutional repository.
UiO also encourages all members of staff whose employment commenced prior to 4 July 2013 to follow this practice.
All projects financed by the Research Council of Norway and by the EU must ensure open access to scientific publications.
What is the difference between Green and Gold Open Access?
Before publishing researchers should take into account which type of Open Access the publisher provides. Is it an Open Access journal? Does the publisher demand fees from the author upon publication? Gold stands for publications available directly from the publisher, whereas Green means that a version is available somewhere else.
Green Open Access is self-archiving in an online repository before, after or alongside its publication. Access to the article is often - but not necessarily - delayed ('embargo period'). Green Open Access is provided by the archive services at the University of Oslo.
Gold Open Access means that an article is immediately provided in open access mode by the scientific publisher. The associated costs are shifted away from readers, and instead charged to (for example) the university or research institute to which the researcher is affiliated.
University of Oslo researchers may apply for funding from the Publishing fund for UiO researchers (link). The fund is currently empty (November 2017).

Why Open Access?
- Because information and knowledge should be freely available
- Because the research is shared in solidarity with those who can not afford to purchase access to it
- Because the research is paid for with tax money
- Because Open Access contributes to increased distribution of research - including new user groups
- Because the author do not relinquish all rights to the publication to a publisher
