Gold open access / open access publishing

The publication is immediately provided in open access mode by the scientific publisher. In this model, the payment of publication costs is shifted away from readers paying via subscriptions. The business model most often encountered is based on one-off payments by authors. These costs (often referred to as Author Processing Charges, APCs) can usually be borne by the university or research institute to which the researcher is affiliated, or to the funding agency supporting the research. Under both FP7 and Horizon 2020, gold OA costs incurred during project duration are eligible for reimbursement.
