Green Road and Gold Road are complementary strategies to Open Access as stated in the BOAI (2002). Presentation focuses on both Green Road and Gold Road most recent achievements.
First author discusses strategies and ideas to ingest content in IRs from mandates to economic incentives to new personalized features enriching repositories.
Following attention is drawn on OA journals and OA hybrid models.
Finally author discusses the idea that the two roads to Open Access will naturally overlap due to IT developments and researchers’ needs. RIOJA, the University of California eScholarship Repository and the Lund Virtual Medical Journal are presented as experiments supporting the idea of Green Road and Gold Road as converging strategies to Open Access.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
