But ap specialization, these magazines also differ in their chosen business model. There are thre open access journals:  • Pure/diamond open access journals – Full content of the journal is openly accessible whi publishing-related costs are borne by the publisher (e.g. a university publishing house, community). Example: Global Health Research and Policy [ URL "https://ghrp.biomedcentral  or European Commission’s publishing platform Open Research Europe [ URL "https://open-r europe.ec.europa.eu/"] • Paid open access journals – Full content of the journal is openly available while publis the article are borne by the authors – they pay a publication fee [ URL "OSCIEN-39.html# of journals is often mistaken for the entire gold open access model. Example: PLoS ONE [ journals.plos.org/plosone/"] or Occupational Therapy International [ URL "https://www.hi journals/oti/"]   • Hybrid journals – The journal is available to subscribers by default, only selected arti available in open access for a publication fee [ URL "OSCIEN-39.html#3"] . Example: Stud and Philosophy of Science Part A [ URL "https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/studies-in philosophy-of-science-part-a"]   Journals of which content is available free of charge after the expiration of the embargo considered to be open access – they do not meet the condition of immediate access.  You can use the Directory of Open Access Journals [ URL "https://www.doaj.org/"] (DOAJ) da suitable open journal to publish your article or to search for relevant literature.  For new / unknown titles, we strongly advise you to check whether it is a predatory journa "OSCIEN-36.html "] .  ****************************************************************************************** * Step 2: Make sure you have the opportunity to get funds for the publication fee ****************************************************************************************** Publication fees/article processing charges (APC) are associated with a paid open access j hybrid journals. The fee varies from title to title; field differences are also significan APCs can be covered from a grant or a research project budget (costs of open publishing fo of the grant are eligible for example in H2020, ERC, Czech Ministery of Education etc.), o resources (if funds have been set aside for this purpose).  Corresponding authors of the UK can also use discounts or tokens for open access publishin publishers.
