    • Hybrid: journal can make some articles freely available but requires author to pay a fee per article
    • Green: journal article owns the article (unlikely to pay) and you as the author allowed to self-archive either the pre-print (the author's copy of article before it’s been reviewed by the publisher, or pre-reviewed)
    • OR
      post-print (the author's copy of article after it’s been reviewed and corrected, but before the publisher has formatted it for publication, or post-reviewed)
      of the article in a repository
