Accelerate the reach of your most crucial research findings. Making them rapidly accessible means you can have a direct impact on policy, practice, and industry quicker than traditional publishing methods with no sacrifices in integrity, quality and peer-review.

Understanding Gold vs Green Open Access
Gold
Gold OA means that the final published version of your article (or Version of Record) is permanently and freely available online for anyone, anywhere to read. An article publishing charge (APC) is usually applicable if you publish gold OA.
With gold open access you can:
Share your research anywhere you choose as soon as it’s published.
Comply with any funder mandates to publish OA.
Keep copyright of your work post-publication.
Publish under a license with few or no restrictions on how people can reuse your work.
Of course, they must still credit you if they do so.
Green
Green OA, also known as self-archiving, is when you post an earlier version of your manuscript in repositories and online. This enables you to share your article without having to pay an APC.
Authors publishing in any Taylor & Francis Group journal can take advantage of the green open access route. This includes depositing a version of your article in an institutional or subject repository, as well as posting it on your blog or social media profile.
Please note that an embargo period usually applies.
