摘要：Open access to information is an
important and relevant discussion
in the field of library and
information science. Open access (OA)
publication refers to the free availability of
scholarly literature without any access
restrictions or fees. Currently there are two
models of open access publishing ¨C the
¡°gold road¡± and the ¡°green road.¡± In the
gold road to open access, the publication
model is drastically changed. Either the
author must pay for publication or
publication costs must be covered by grants
or institutional contributions. Green-road
open access follows the traditional
subscription-based publication model, but
allows authors to make their articles freely
available by self-archiving or by contributing
them to their institutional repository. In
2008 the Journal of the American Society
for Information Science & Technology
(JASIST) became a green-road open access
journal. Under this policy authors publishing
in JASIST may post preprints to their own
websites or their institution¡¯s repositories
with links to the final article and to the
online journal.
