Did you know that Griffith’s institutional repository Griffith Research Online (GRO) has the key to unlocking paywalled publications? That key is called ‘green open access’.
Green open access is when a publisher-approved, full-text version (usually the accepted manuscript) of a paywalled publication is made freely and legally available to the public through the author’s institutional repository—no publisher subscription necessary.
Not only does the green open access facilitated by GRO extend the reach of Griffith’s research and provide opportunities for more (and more diverse) citations, but it can also enable compliance with the open access mandates of funders like the ARC and NHMRC.
In support of the Griffith’s commitment to open research, the Library team has released thousands of publications from behind paywalls through green open access. They also engage proactively with researchers to unlock many more.
To learn more about GRO, visit the Research repositories webpage or contact the Library.
