"Authors have a key role to play in making research open access. There are two ways authors can make their publications open access:  ​​

Author-Archived Open Access  Authors can put copies of their publications into a repository such as CORA, the UCC institutional repository

Publisher-Hosted Open Access  Authors can make their research open access through a publisher e.g. a journal website such as PLOS ONE "
