APC - Article Processing Charge
AM (Accepted Manuscript) or Post-print A post-print is a document that has been through the peer-review process and incorporated reviewers’ comments. It is the final version of the paper before it is sent off the journal for publication. It may be missing a final copyedit and won't be formatted to look like the journal. It still looks like the double spaced.doc file.
Copyright means that all the rights are reserved.
Creative Commons Licence (CC) means that some rights are reserved. The authors decide which type of use can be done with the data.
DOI Digital Object identifier is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet.
Embargo An embargo in the context of academic publishing typically means a temporary stop or ban on disclosing information contained in a research paper. The embargo may affect authors or, after the publication of the research paper in question, may affect readers by preventing them from accessing it.
Gold Open Access Gold OA means that the final published version of your article (or Version of Record) is permanently and freely available online for anyone, anywhere to read. An article publishing charge (APC) is usually applicable if you publish gold OA.
Green Open Access (or self-archiving) The author archives the published article or the final peer-reviewed manuscript in an online repository before or after publication. Some publishers request that open access is granted only after an embargo period has elapsed.
ORCID ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher.
Preprint A preprint is the original version of the manuscript as it is submitted to a journal. While the authors may have sought help from their colleagues in selecting data analysis techniques, improving manuscript clarity, and correcting grammar, the pre-print has not been through a process of peer review. It typically looks like a term paper - a double spaced .doc file with minimal formatting. Theses and dissertations are considered to be preprints.

Repository An Open Access repository is a database or a virtual archive established to collect, disseminate and preserve scientific output like scientific articles and datasets and make them freely available. The action of depositing material in a repository is (self)archiving.
SMUR (Submitted Manuscript Under Review) The version of the article that is under formal review for inclusion in the journal.
VoR (Version of Record) or Publisher’s version The version that is formally published. This includes any First View article that is formally identified as being published online before the compilation of a journal issue. The VoR includes any post-publication corrections.
