<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">According to DOAJ, 67.6% of journals listed (6,283 journals), while 32.3% (2,999 journals) do not have article processing charges. This information is historical - about a year old, from before the DOAJ upgrade. </span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Based on our APC survey data (2014, 2015 in progress), I suspect the number of APC-charging may be over -stated. The number of journals with conditional charges appears to have been added to the total. </span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Also, based on our in-depth look at a large sample of these journals, it appears that some of the "APCs" may actually be old-fashioned print-based page charges for journals still publishing in print as well
as online. For example, some journals refer to costs for colour printing. We haven't looked in-depth at the journals that were identified as conditional charges, however one example of a type of common conditional cost that is clearly not an APC is when an
author wishes to take advantage of an optional purchase of off-prints. </span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I believe there is some evidence that there are more articles published in APC-charging journals than non-APC charging journals. This does not impact the percentage of journals with and without APCs.</span></div>

Using this term brings great clarity to discussions of open-access journals and author fees. Using "gold" to refer both to journals that charge authors (gold) and those that do not charge authors (platinum) leads to confusion, ambiguity, and misunderstanding.<br>
<br>
Some have abused the term "gold open access" to promote open access, proclaiming, for example, that "most peer-reviewed open access journals charge no fees at all." [1] This misleading statement is based on a 2012 study that examined a non-representative subset

<br>
Thanks Helene,<br>
<br>
Yes you are not the first to be confused which was which because I put the terms in a different order.<br>
<br>
Gold open access is 'born' open access - because it is published open in an open access journal (with or without a cost), or in a hybrid journal where the remainder of the journal remains under subscription (always incurs a cost). There are many, many times
that the terms 'gold open access' has been taken to mean 'pay for open access'. Publishers of course have done little to dissuade this impression.<br>
<br>
Green open access is 'secondary' open access because it is published in a traditional manner (usually a susbcription journal) and a copy of the work is placed in a repository - institutional or subject.<br>
<br>
I hope that is a bit clearer. I agree it would not be easy to change. But we all used to call things preprints and postprints. That really made no sense because post-prints were not yet printed. We do not use those terms any more, not in the UK anyway. We use
the terms Submitted Manuscript, Author's Accepted Manuscript (AAM) and Version of Record (VoR).<br>
<br>

> We could play on this list to find best definition and vote for it! But the aim of Open Access is not to find the best OA word for 2015, then for 2016 and for 2020! The aim is to stay clear for all stake holders, at the time of important political decisions
are taken. Policy makers seem to have understood what is Green and what is Gold. They need only to have more details on the true Gold and Green roads which really conduct to OA.<br>

> To be efficient today, we just need to repeat what is precisely Green or Gold, and how to get it, in each publication, conference, blog and forum, as Stevan Harnad and Jean-Claude Gu?don do it for years now.<br>

> My issue is with the terms 'green' and 'gold' which are entirely arbitrary. The main problem I have is that 'gold' implies 'the best' and it implies 'expensive' and it is not necessarily either.<br>

> If we have an option I think we should refer to these two routes to OA as 'Born Open Access' and 'Secondary Open Access'. Considerably more understandable to the external audience.<br>
