Gold Open Access: is where an author publishes the article in an online open access journal.
Gold open access has the key advantage of making publications freely accessible right from the
moment they are first published, which means they can be used immediately.
Green Open Access: is where an author publishes the article in any journal and then self-archives
a copy in a freely accessible institutional or specialist online archive known as a repository, or
on a website. Green open access does not offer the same legal framework for content licensing.

Research Integrity: may be defined as active adherence to the ethical principles and professional
stadards essential for the responsible practice of research.By active adherence we mean adoption of
the principles and practices as a personal credo, not simply accepting them as impositions by rule-
