12. Open access (OA) means
unrestricted access via the
Internet to peer-reviewed
scholarly research.
There are two roads to OA:
1. the "golden road" of OA journal-publishing ,
where journals provide OA to their articles
(either by charging the author-institution for
refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead
of charging the user-institution for accessing
incoming articles, or by simply making their
online edition free for all)
2. the "green road" of OA self-archiving, where
authors provide OA to their own published
articles, by putting them up online or in an
institutional repository where all can access.

13. Open Data Stickers by jwygCC0
Scientific research data made
publicly available. Can also
be data from government or
GLAM organizations.
• made available in convenient, modifiable, and
open formats that can be retrieved, downloaded,
indexed, and searched
• formats are machine-readable and structured to
allow automated processing
• made available to the widest range of users for
the widest range of purposes
figshare is a repository where users can
make all of their research outputs (figures,
datasets, media, papers, posters,
presentations and filesets) available in a
citable, shareable and discoverable manner.
