“End of Grant” KMb: (curiosity-driven research): The researcher develops and implements a plan for making knowledge users aware of the knowledge generated. “Integrated” KMb (problem-based research): The researcher engages potential knowledge users as partners in the research process. Requires a collaborative or participatory approach to research that is action oriented and is solutions and impact focused. Source

version of the article for free public use in their institutional repository.
• Gold: authors publish in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website.
• Hybrid: provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee
