The Law for a Digital Republic promulgated on 8 October 2016 includes an article dedicated to open access to scientific articles, article 30.
In short, all scientific articles resulting from public research can now be deposited into an open access repository :
- in a manuscript format : author accepted manuscript (AAM),
- with a maximum embargo of 6 months (science and medicine)/12 months (humanities and social sciences),
regardless of the publisher's open access policy.

Definition of AAM :
Paper as accepted for publication, including all changes resulting from peer review, but not necessarily incorporating the publisher’s formatting or layout.

This site is run collaboratively by the @access working group — a loose coalition of academics in various fields — plus you. We want to know your stories about how access to scientific literature has enabled you to do more, create more, and give more back to the world. If that’s you, please see the Contribute page.
By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

We will go into more details regarding these services later on, for the moment let's just check the following chart.
Data from Open APC : 2005-2018, 158 research institutions
| Value in € | Full OA | Hybrid OA |
|---|---|---|
| average | 1481 | 2490 |
| median | 1407 | 2443 |
There is hence concern that hybrid APCs often reflect traditional publishers’ concern to maintain existing profit margins and market position rather than the true costs of publishing.

The hybrid model (the grey) is more proeminent in exact sciences, technology and medicine ; if you want to know more about this model, please check the ED211 session's slides. :warning: Data from Web of Science - mind the gap! (see next slide)
Social Sciences : 21,2% of open access journals indexed in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ, see below) are included in Web of Science
Arts & Humanities : 19,5%
From : 101 Innovations. (2018). ‘Towards a Plan S gap analysis? (2) Gold open access journals in WoS and DOAJ’. Innovations in Scholarly Communication. Retrieved from https://101innovations.wordpress.com/2018/12/05/gold-oa-journals-in-wos-and-doaj/
In contrast with journals in exact sciences, technology and medicine, most open acess journals in social sciences and humanities do not charge fees (article processing charges). The economic model of those journals may be based on one or more of the following elements.
- Sponsor funding : publications costs are covered through donations, grants, institutional subsidies, etc.
- Embargo period : articles are automatically made open access after a defined period of time - see journals with Embargo period policy published by OpenEdition
- Freemium : extra services are charged to (partially) cover publication costs - see journals with Open access Freemium published by OpenEdition
Helps you identify trusted journals, using among others DOAJ
The Directory of Open Access Journals is an independant, community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals.
Quality Open Access Market is developed ad maintained by researchers from Radboud University Nijmegen, QUOAM is a market place, including quality scoring based on academic crowd sourcing and price information with institutional licensed pricing.

OpenEdition publishes not only journals but also books.
Open Edition Freemium programme includes books - univ. Pau is one of the subscribing institutions.
Crowdfunding programme to "unlatch", make open access, journals and monographs.
DOAB indexes academic books provided they are :
- available under an Open Access license (such as a Creative Commons license),
- subjected to independent and external peer review prior to publication.

A definition :
In short, a preprint is a research output that has not completed a typical publication pipeline but is of value to the community and deserving of being easily discovered and accessed.
and a how-to : Bourne, P. E. et al. (2017). ‘Ten simple rules to consider regarding preprint submission’. PLOS Computational Biology, 13(5), e1005473. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005473
Does this way of publishing apply to humanities and social sciences (beyond economy that has long adopted it)?
In the short run, SocArXiv will be a convenient, fast, free, open paper server. In the longer run, we hope it will be a building block for the future system of scholarly communication. In sociology, the discipline with which I (and our steering committee) are most familiar, we do not have a strong cultural norm of pre-print paper sharing, or data sharing. But sociologists – like most social scientists – do want our research to have an impact in the wider world, to reach a broader audience, and to engage with the public for the benefit of all parties. Our challenge is to persuade these academic communities that open scholarship is necessary for achieving that larger ambition.

- You can address different communities depending on what part of your research you decide to make available
- You have tools to speak about your data/corpora in further publications
