Are you a Green and Gold imposter? Do you nod you head and smile when anyone mentions Open Access – hoping they will not ask you any questions. You are not alone – unless you are working with the terminology, the funders, the policies everyday – it feels too confusing and unnecessary to listen properly now when you can do it tomorrow.
