Conference and journal papers can be published under certain conditions as pre- or post-print openly accessible online. This process is also called "Green Open Access".

Conference and journal papers for which authors have reached an agreement with the publisher of the original publication for self-archiving can be published freely accessible online as pre- or postprints.

The Digital Information Focus Initiative of the Alliance Initiative of Science Organizations has collected answers to frequently asked questions on the topic.

Standard policies of many publishers and journals can be found through the SHERPA/RoMEO service.
