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 – 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.
