What Does ‘Green’ Open Access Mean? Tracking Twelve Years Of Changes To Journal Publisher Self-Archiving Policies, Elizabeth Gadd, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Traces the 12‐year self‐archiving policy journey of the original 107 publishers listed on the
SHERPA/RoMEO Publisher Policy Database in 2004, through to 2015. Maps the RoMEO colour codes

has increased by 12% over the twelve years, the volume of restrictions around how, where, and

This article examines data and discourse to better understand publisher perspectives on self-archiving and, based on this understanding, urges action from open access advocates.

Publisher Support For Self-Archiving: Laudatory Or Predatory?, Denise Troll Covey

Most publishers with self-archiving policies in the SHERPA RoMEO database allow authors to deposit their articles in a repository or post them to a website – supporting the green route to open access. Nevertheless, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) enthusiastically endorsed legislation proposed and defeated twice in the United States to prohibit federal agencies from mandating repository deposits of articles reporting on research they funded.
