Fully open journals:

- Also known as 'gold' OA
Hybrid journals:
- Some articles require a subscription to read
- Some articles are open access
- All hybrid journals require payment of an APC (waived if the journal is part of AUT's Read & Publish agreements)
- Sometimes described as 'authors choice'
Institution journals:
- All articles are open access
- All articles are free to publish
- Journals are supported by institutions, such as universities.

Open repositories: ('Green OA')

Note: There are also some freely available journals in which articles have no open license (and are therefore not fully open access). The articles may only be openly available for a limited time. This is sometimes known as 'Bronze' open access.
