Open access (OA) to publications has become a major topic in science policy. However, electronic publication providing free access to research via the internet is more than a decade older, was invented in the 1990s and driven by parts of the scientific community. This paper focuses on two disciplines (astronomy and mathematics) in which green OA is well established. It asks how authors and readers use the central disciplinary repository and how they are thereby included in the communication system of their disciplines. Drawing on an interview study with 20 scientists from both disciplines, we analyze the main characteristics of an inclusion, possible problems that result from it and how they are being solved. The empirical results show that there is a complementarity between the routines of authors and readers that co-stabilize each other. This finding suggests that the emergence of complementary routines could be a necessary condition for the green OA model to succeed.

天文学和数学中的绿色开放获取：作者和读者之间程序的互补性

出版物的开放获取 (OA) 已成为科学政策的一个主要话题。然而，通过互联网提供免费研究访问的电子出版物已有十多年的历史，它是在 1990 年代发明的，由部分科学界推动。本文重点介绍绿色 OA 已确立的两个学科（天文学和数学）。它询问作者和读者如何使用中央学科知识库，以及他们如何因此被纳入其学科的交流系统。通过对来自两个学科的 20 位科学家的访谈研究，我们分析了夹杂物的主要特征、由此产生的可能问题以及如何解决这些问题。实证结果表明，作者和读者的套路之间存在互补性，相互稳定。
