However, the more common form of green open
access publishing is «self - archiving»: the author publishes her work in a standard journal, but
retains permission either
to upload (archive) a version of her publication — ideally a PDF of the final, edited
paper as published in the journal but usually a pre-publication version («pre-print»)--
to an institutional repository or other repository, eg, the private Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN).
