Authors (erroneous) description of green OA: Green OA is a whole ‘nother ball of wax. Like I said before, this can include pretty much any method of internet publishing other than a journal, as long as it doesn’t carry an access charge or a paywall for your reader. One argument for green over gold is that it cuts out the publishers entirely. ... Green OA also comes with a lot less complications. You can throw your stuff up on your own website, submit it to your university’s repository, use a blog (like Hack Library School!), whatever. It still needs to be scholarly and it must be peer reviewed, just like gold OA, but unlike gold OA journals, putting your work in an institutional repository doesn’t come with any copyright restrictions. You’re often not allowed to take things out once you’ve submitted them for deposit, but you can submit them anywhere else you please (some publishers get snippy about publishing things that are already in IR’s, but most have learned to live with pre-print IR versions). #openaccess
