Green Open Access
Free online access to peer-reviewed materials provided by the author (self archived, or published in an institutional repository).

Free online access provided by the journal itself, whether the journal is subscription-based, APC (article processing charge)-based, or subsidized. Open access journals can be searchable within a digital publisher’s collection. For example, EBSCO allows the user to limit searching to open access journals.
