English abstract

The discourse on Open Access is very often dominated by pleas for the so-called green road to Open Access, i.e. secondary publishing in institutional repositories or other document servers. This approach, to be sure, is very pragmatic; but it very often ends in a narrow perspective and can lead to unnecessarily defensive and limiting positions. The paper will take a programmatic stance and argue in favour of a much broader notion of Open Access and on the necessity and inevitability of choosing the golden road to open access, i.e. direct open access publishing and shifting the cost from subscriptions and the reader side to publication charges and the author side.
