Guidance on Open Access

AAU OPEN can advise you on Open Access publishing strategies, including which type of Open Access could be relevant and which options exist to obtain Open Access.

 
When working with Open Access at AAU, you can draw on several different resources that help you navigate requirements, opportunities, and publishing strategies. Below, you will find a number of key tools and guidelines that provide an overview of everything from AAU’s Open Access policy to specific publishing agreements and support for data management.

To make it easier to understand the different routes to Open Access, the illustration below presents the three most common models: Green, Gold, and Diamond Open Access. Each represents a different way of making research freely available with its own requirements, processes, and funding models. Together, they offer a complete picture of the options you can choose from when planning your publishing strategy.
