All this and more can be discovered through Dimensions\u2019 rich data and analytical capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dimensions provides multiple filters to easily display results which are Open Access. Our filters are built around the four most commonly used basic classifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Bronze<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 available on websites hosted by their publisher, either immediately or following an embargo, but are not formally licensed for reuse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Green<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 freely available somewhere other than the publisher\u2019s website, e.g. in a subject or university repository, or the author\u2019s personal website. Applies to self-archiving generally of the pre or post-print or potentially after an embargo period<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Gold<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 refers to articles in fully accessible open access journals that are available immediately upon publication without a license<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hybrid<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 refers to subscription journals with open access to individual articles usually when a fee is paid to the publisher or journal by the author, the author\u2019s organization, or the research funder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
