Elsevier's OA Policy

Elsevier's Open Access (OA) Policy allows researchers to share their published articles freely, either immediately or after a delay, depending on Publisher agreements and funding requirements. Typically, authors can deposit their accepted manuscripts in institutional or subject repositories, often after an embargo period, and some articles may be published as open access with Article Processing Charges (APCs) paid by authors or institutions. The policy aims to balance open dissemination of research with copyright considerations, enabling wider access while respecting publisher restrictions. Specific options vary by journal and funding source; authors should check individual journal policies for details.
