There is absolutely no contradiction between making papers (Green) OA and publishing them in any journal you like.
(1) Deposit them in your institutional repository immediately upon acceptance for publication and (2a) Either make the deposit OA immediately or (if you want to comply with a publisher OA embargo) (2b) Make the deposit “Closed Access” and make sure your repository has implemented the “Almost-OA” copy-request Button, The biggest blockage to OA is indeed not “a lack of interoperable systems.” Nor is it “unwillingness of publishers to engage.” (Publishers are irrelevant.) But wherever researchers fail to do (1) and either (2a) or (2b), the biggest blockage to OA is indeed researcher apathy. Nothing whatsoever to do with journal choice, journal impact factors, or “mismeasurement.” Red Herrings, all. Dixit. Stevan Harnad —— Harnad, S (2015) Optimizing Open Access Policy.
