“EPSRC Council agreed at its December meeting to mandate open access publication, but that academics should be able to choose whether they use the so-called green option (ie, self-archiving in an on-line repository) or to use the gold option (ie, pay-to-publish in an open access journal). Further details will be published in spring 2009.”
From the SPSRC website
See these library links for more information on open access and Spiral – Imperial College London’s repository.
