Dear community Please see linked a beginners guide to Open Access, so we can avoid further confusion, and hence, have more informed discussions, as if you write a paper for this (or any other journal - book) you can always deposit your pre-print in your website or repository https://wonkhe.com/blogs/intro-to-open-access/ If anyone is still not very familiar with how open access works, we would be happy to share some more guidelines, so you can further become acquainted on how fellow open movements operate.
