Secondary publication

Open Access Green

You can secundary publish your publications on a trusted repository such as BORIS Portal. In this case, we refer to this as Open Access Green.

Rights

In order to secondary publish your publication, you must retain the appropriate rights of use. For example, you can only transfer simple, non-exclusive rights of use to the publisher. Or you can insist on a corresponding clause for secondary publication in the contract.

Version

It is important that you republish the reviewed and revised version of your publication.

Some publishers make the publisher's version available for this purpose. However, most publishers tend to allow the secondary publication of the “accepted manuscript,” i.e., the reviewed and revised version that has not been laid out by the publisher.

Research funding institutions

Funding institutions accept OA Green if certain criteria are met.
