If your research output was published open access, you may deposit a full text of your article in AIMS. The full text will become publicly accessible by the public.
Does the copyright allow deposit of the full text in AIMS?
The Library will check if the license agreement of the uploaded full text allows open access of the full text in AIMS. We will contact you if there is any copyright issue.
What are the major types of Open Access articles?
There are two major types of open access articles: Gold and Green.
Gold open access usually involves an article processing charge, and the published version of the full text can be shared immediately after published. Green open access, also named as self-archiving, does not involve an article processing charge, but the sharing of full text needs to comply with the publisher's self-archiving policy.
Gold Open Access
Open access articles may be published in full open access journals or hybrid journals which offer an open access option. If your article is published open access in these journals, you may upload the published version of full text to AIMS.

Green Open Access
Many subscription-based journals allow authors to deposit their final accepted manuscripts to an institutional repository (e.g. AIMS), subject to the publisher's self-archiving policy, such as embargo period.
