Even if I don't mention it explicitly every time, the meaning of OA is free online access (to peer-reviewed research), the meaning of Green OA is free online access provided by the author, and the meaning of Gold OA is free online access provided by the journal, *whether the journal is subscription-based, APC-based, or subsidized.* (I ought to know, since I have just accepted to be editor-in-chief of a new Gold OA journal -- *Animal Sentience <http://animalstudiesrepository.org/animsent/> --* that is neither APC-based nor subscription-based: It is subsidized by the Humane Society Institute for Science and Policy (HSISP) <http://www.humanesociety.org/about/departments/hsisp/>.)
