Agreement
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has an "Internal Policy on open access 새 탭/창에서 열기 publication of scientific content, including articles submitted to peer review journals."
The policy requires scientific articles produced by ECDC employees during their official duties, and who are listed as first or last authors (hereafter “authors”) to publish their articles via the gold open access route. ECDC authors can comply with ECDC’s open access policy by choosing the gold open access option when publishing an article with Elsevier.
Authors will retain the option to choose to publish their article under the subscription model and make it available via green open access. They should be aware, however, that this will not be compliant with ECDC’s open access policy.
Gold open access
Elsevier provides open access (OA) publishing options which enable authors to comply with ECDC’s policy. Specifically, authors can choose to publish their article in one of over 250 open access journals or in one of over 1,900 established journals with an open access option.

Green open access
ECDC’s open access policy does not support green open access. While ECDC authors will retain the option to choose to publish their article under the subscription model and make it available green open access, authors will need to be aware that this is not a compliant option for their funder.
