Gold OA is trash, don't confuse it with true OA modes:
1. Green OA: peer reviewed and free for reader and author; author waives copyright
2. Diamond OA: peer reviewed and free for reader and author; author KEEPS copyright
3. Black OA: free for readers, pirated by hackers; DISREGARDS copyright
See my other note where I argue that BOA is the most important one, since it does not depend on state funding or publisher largesse. It simply seizes the knowledge that must be seized.
