摘要：Human Technology: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Humans in ICT Environments started in2005 as an open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal, published only online. At that time,the traditional printed journal model of publishing houses was quite dominant and largelyuncontested. Now open-access journal publishing is growing rapidly (Björk & Solomon,2014) and providing important alternative routes to researchers’ access to the literature inmany disciplines. This editorial only discusses the gold model of open-access publishing, notthe green model (traditional journal publishing and a parallel repository).
