Gold Open Access is where the final ‘Version of Record’ of a publication is published under a permissive Creative Commons (CC) licence. This allows anyone to freely access and redistribute the publication and, depending on which CC licence the author has chosen, in many cases allows the re-use of content in new or derivative works.

We are dedicated to developing equitable approaches to covering the costs of Gold Open Access. Learn more about the funding support Cambridge offers to authors publishing Gold Open Access.

Green Open Access is the practice of making some version of a publication free to read in an online repository. Typically this is the version of a manuscript that has been accepted for publication following peer review, but has not yet been formally edited or formatted by Cambridge.
