Hybrid open-access journal

A hybrid open-access journal is a subscription journal in which some of the articles are <a href="/facts/Open_access/r7rLYN6C">open access</a>. This status typically requires the payment of a publication fee (also called an <a href="/facts/Article_processing_charge/TGXeo8q3">article processing charge</a> or APC) to the publisher in order to publish an article open access, in addition to the continued payment of subscriptions to access all other content. Strictly speaking, the term "hybrid open-access journal" is incorrect, possibly misleading, as using the same logic such journals could also be called "hybrid subscription journals". Simply using the term "hybrid access journal" is accurate.[original research?]
Publishers that offer a hybrid open access option often use different names for it. The <a href="/facts/SHERPA/RoMEO/RdoPzhza">SHERPA/RoMEO</a> site provides a list of publishers and the names of their options. The Open Access Directory provides a list of funds that support open access journals, and provides information about which funds will pay fees of hybrid open access journals.
