Black Open Access
Free access to paid scientific articles. “Black” refers to the various methods through which scientific articles or other content are shared illegally. In reference to the 2008 manifesto by Aaron Swarz, illegal access to scientific publications is also referred to as Guerrilla OA.
Bronze Open Access
Scientific publications shared for public circulation, e.g. on the publisher’s website, without specifying the rules for further use under a licence.
This term was coined relatively recently (around 2015) in response to the need to include a new category of open access that did not fit the existing definitions.
Gold Open Access

One of the open access publishing models whereby journal publishers make all articles and related content available free of charge on the journal’s website immediately after publication.
