Funders and other organizations often require the research they fund to be made freely available online, or “open access”. The best way to ensure maximum openness and re-usability of your article’s content is to publish it as Gold Open Access; see our Open Access FAQs for more about this.
For articles that are not published Gold OA, our Green Open Access policy provides another way for authors to comply with funders’ open access requirements, by allowing authors to make pre-final versions of their journal articles publicly accessible in non-commercial websites.
This page explains what versions of their articles authors are permitted to make publicly accessible, in what ways, by our Green OA policy. Our Green OA policy applies to all journal articles published by Cambridge University Press, but it is primarily designed to support open access for articles that are sustained by journal subscriptions. For this reason, our Green OA policy is not as permissive about what authors may do with articles in comparison with articles published fully open access (Gold OA).
This policy replaces all previous Green Open Access policies, and the terms of this policy apply to all articles retrospectively.
For example, if an author has previously signed a publishing agreement that is more restrictive in how they may share pre-final versions of their article than our current Green Open Access policy, this policy supersedes the relevant conditions in their publishing agreement.
We use the following terms and definitions in this policy:
Please see the table to the left or the text below for full details of how authors are permitted to share different versions of their manuscripts.
Please see the table to the left or the text below for full details of how authors are permitted to share different versions of their manuscripts.
Again, some journals have more permissive policies than our standard policy. You can review the full details of all journal policies in the downloadable spreadsheet above.
Please note that some journals operate a workflow whereby Cambridge University Press publishes an Accepted Manuscript on cambridge.org when the article enters the production cycle. This is a separate process to what authors are allowed to do under our Green OA policy; please see our Production FAQs for more information.
Our Green OA policy does not meet the open access requirements of Plan S, and our publishing agreements with authors may conflict with authors' agreements with cOAlition S funders. Authors should publish articles Gold Open Access in order to be compliant with Plan S.
Authors may make Preprints and SMURs publicly accessible under any licence terms they choose. We recommend a Creative Commons CC BY or other CC licence.
If the Version of Record is published as fully open access (Gold OA) under a Creative Commons licence, the authors may make the Accepted Manuscript accessible under the same Creative Commons licence as the Version of Record. For articles that are not published as Gold OA, authors may make Accepted Manuscripts available under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND licence or equivalent, but not a more permissive licence. This policy does not allow authors to make these AMs accessible under a CC BY licence, for example.
Before posting articles online, authors should ensure they have the appropriate permission to include any third party content. When posting articles under a Creative Commons licence, the permission should allow the third-party material to either (i) be included under the Creative Commons licence or (ii) be clearly indicated as being protected by third party copyright, with a clear notice that it cannot be reused without further permissions clearance from the identified third-party rights holder.
As shown in the table above, our standard policy for science, technical and medical journals has a six-month embargo period after publication, before Accepted Manuscripts can be made publicly accessible. However, authors may deposit articles in repositories before the articles can be made public, provided the content is not publicly accessible. This is sometimes referred to as ‘closed deposit’.
Metadata about the article (for example the article title, abstract, and journal citation) can be made public as soon as the article has been published on Cambridge Core. The full text must not be made public before any applicable embargo ends.
Any applicable embargo period starts from the date the Version of Record is first published online, whether as part of a journal’s issue or as a FirstView article prior to the compilation of the journal issue.
When posting content in repositories, we require authors to include:
