    Going open access is great, and that's what I do, but it has to be said a lot of grants do NOT pay for open access publications, and diamond open access (free for authors and readers) is quite rare and you can wait eternity to get published.

    So, it has to be paid straight out of personal finances.

    I know people who get 12,000€ for a year long research project which includes employing other part time people. I doubt they can pay for open access.

    However, the submitted version is yours to do whatever you want; please host it on your website or wherever it may be simple for you.
