These settings are configurable so you can make the projections match the assumptions and values of your institution. They change the model projections of access and cost.
Fulfillment
Include Bronze OA
Include Bronze OA as a type of fulfillment. Bronze OA is when a paper is made freely available on a publisher site without an open license (includes Elsevier's "open archive" journals).
Include Green OA submitted versions
Include submitted versions as a type of fulfillment. Submitted versions are papers made available in repositories as preprints or other versions that have not yet been peer reviewed.

Include perpetual-access backfile content
Include backfile content as a type of fulfillment. Disable to see what fulfillment would be like if you don't have perpetual access.
