The Access/Impact Problem and the Green and Gold Roads to Open Access. Harnad, S., Brody, T., Vallières, F., Carr, L., Hitchcock, S., Gingras, Y., Oppenheim, C., Stamerjohanns, H., & Hilf, E. R. 30(4):310–314. Paper doi abstract bibtex The research access/impact problem arises because journal articles are not accessible to all of their would-be users; hence, they are losing potential research impact. The solution is to make all articles Open Access (OA; i.e., accessible online, free for all). OA articles have significantly higher citation impact than non-OA articles. There are two roads to OA: the ” golden” road (publish your article in an OA journal) and the ” green” road (publish your article in a non-OA journal but also self-archive it in an OA archive). Only 5\,% of journals are gold, but over 90\,% are already green (i.e., they have given their authors the green light to self-archive); yet only about 10-20\,% of articles have been self-archived. To reach 100\,% OA, self-archiving needs to be mandated by researchers' employers and funders, as the United Kingdom and the United States have recently recommended, and universities need to implement that mandate.
