Green Open Access (OA) Day

Today (March 17, 2025) is Green Open Access Day, a time to celebrate and promote the importance and benefits of green open access (OA). Green OA, also known as self-archiving, allows researchers to make a version of their article openly available through an institutional or disciplinary repository. This ensures that research is accessible to a global audience without paywall restrictions.
