The Hybrid Road refers to the immediate OA publishing of an article in a subscription journal. These are journals in which some of the articles are available in OA and the others behind a paywall.
UNIL supports this option exclusively within the framework of institutional licenses with major publishing houses (fees paid directly by the license) shown below.
If your title is not eligible for support by one of our licences, UNIL recommends that you follow the Green Road.
