Let's talk about Green

Montague-Hellen, Beth; Fraser, Katie

Abstract

Open Access is a foundational topic in Scholarly Communications. However, when information professionals and publishers talk about its future, it is nearly always Gold open access we discuss. Green was seen as the big solution for providing access to those who couldn’t afford it. However, publishers have protested that Green destroys their business models. How true is this, and are we even all talking the same language when we talk about Green?

Has a recent focus on negotiating ‘read and publish’ deals moved towards Gold? Will upcoming milestones in research funder financing and compliance move us back? This session will discuss these questions and ask whether there is a model of Green that we can all get behind.
