Channels permitting self-archiving (green open access) are traditional subscription-paid journals that allow articles to be stored, for example, in the university's open publication archive. Publication channels that allow immediate self-archiving of the peer-reviewed version of the manuscript can be favored in the comparison. For book publishers and book series, an embargo period may be allowed: 6 months in science and technology, and 12 months in human sciences. The Sherpa Romeo service, which is integrated into the Publication Forum database, can be used to find a self-archiving policy.
