Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Open Access Compliance Monitoring 2019
<p><strong>I. Executive summary</strong></p> <p>The Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which is Austria's main funding organisation for basic research, encourages and helps all project leaders and project staff members to make their peer-reviewed research results freely available on the Internet. Any exceptions must be clearly indicated and justified. For projects that started after 1 January 2015, open access has been compulsory for all peer-reviewed publications. All principal investigators in FWF-funded projects are obliged to submit a final report within three months of completing their projects.</p> <p>In 2019 all in all 565 final reports were submitted to the FWF, 44 out of them couldn't report publications by now. The publications and other data mentioned in those reports are archived and analysed by the FWF. This report examines the state of compliance with open access requirements on the basis of final project reports submitted in the year 2019.</p> <p>Main findings:</p> <p>-A total of 9.353 publications were listed in the final project reports submitted in 2019.</p> <p>-Of those publications, 7.326 were conclusively identified as peer-reviewed.</p> <p>-Regarding compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy, the analysis shows that 89% of the peer-reviewed publications that are listed in the submitted final reports of FWF projects in 2019 are openly accessible (2015: 83%, 2016: 92%, 2017: 90%, 2018: 92%).</p> <p>-The most frequently chosen option is hybrid open access (40%). The share of old open access is 19%, the share of green open access 22% and other open access 8%.</p> <p>-The majority of peer-reviewed publications submitted are journal articles (91%), 91% of which are openly accessible.</p> <p>-The lowest rate of compliance with the FWF's Open Access Policy can be found in editions, contributions to edited volumes and monographs (42%).</p> <p>-Although open access is not compulsory for non peer-reviewed publications, 43% of those publications are freely available through the internet.</p> <p>-The absolute number of publications listed in final reports in 2019 includes 565 publications that are mentioned several times in different projects; however, those repetitions do not ultimately affect the relative share of open access publications (89%).</p> <p><strong>II. Bias</strong></p> <p>Half of the publications were entered in the FWF’s database manually and with utmost care when the final project reports were received. Nevertheless, it is not possible to rule out minor errors entirely. The other half has been submitted to the FWF via a research documentation system (provided by ©Researchfish) in which FWF-funded researchers are able to enter and update their research data on an ongoing basis. The last check of the open access status was performed in January 2020. In some cases, the embargo period may have already expired, and publications labelled other open access in the FWF’s database may now be accessible through green open access.</p> <p>Whenever the status "peer-reviewed" could not be clearly identified according to FWF guidelines, the publications were classified as non peer-reviewed.</p> <p>Openly available non peer-reviewed publications were entered as 'openly available'.</p> <p> </p>
Corresponding spreadsheet to the Paper 'An intersectional approach to analyse gender productivity and open access: a bibliometric analysis of the Italian National Research Council' submitted to the Scientometric journal by Roberta Ruggieri, Fabrizio Pecoraro and Daniela Luzi from National Research Council, Italy.
<p>Gender equality and Open Access (OA) are priorities within the European Research Area (ERA) and cross-cutting issues in European research program H2020. Gender and openness are also key elements of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). However, despite the common underlying targets of fostering an inclusive, transparent and sustainable research environment, both issues are analysed as independent, unrelated topics.<br> This paper represents a first exploration of the inter-linkages between gender and OA analysing the scientific production of researchers of the Italian National Research Council under a gender perspective integrated with the different OA publications modes. A bibliometric analysis was carried out for articles published in the period 2016-2018 and retrieved from the Web of Science. Results are presented constantly analysing CNR scientific production in relation to gender, disciplinary fields and OA publication modes. These variables are also used when analysing articles that receive financial support.<br> Our results indicate that gender disparities in scientific production still persist in particularly in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), while in medical and agricultural sciences the gender gap is the closest to parity. A positive dynamic toward OA publishing and women scientific production is shown when open disciplines with well-established practices are related to articles supported by funds. A slightly higher women propensity toward OA is shown when considering Gold OA,OA or authorships with women in the first and last article by-line position. Moreover, the prevalence of Italian funded articles with women’s contributions published in Gold OA journals seems to confirm this tendency, especially if considering the week enforcement of the Italian OA policies.</p>
Ancient Greek Literature for Advanced Data Processing: A Text Fabric Representation of Open Access Texts in TEI XML
<p>This data set contains a full conversion of Greek texts available in the Perseus Digital Library and the Open Greek and Latin Project to the Text Fabric data format. The main advantage of the Text Fabric datatype over the original TEI XML format is that it utilizes a strict separation of text and annotation in a flat data structure. At the same time, it permits multiple distinct formats of the same text as well as an unlimited depth of (embedded) annotations. Because of its flat data structure, it facilitates easy and clean procedures to analyze, transform, and enrich the available data. Many of these processes are very difficult to conduct while departing from the hierarchically organized XML tree representation.</p>

Policies of Research Institutions Requiring Open Access Depositing
<p>ROARMAP (http://roarmap.eprints.org) has been queried for policies of research institutions which require Open Access depositing of a version of all publications authored by their researchers. This data was needed to explain some of the outcomes of a study about the proportions of Open Access publishing in the European Research Area (ERA) as well as in Brazil, Canada, Japan and the USA (Archambault et al. 2014).</p>
Proportion of Open Access Papers Published in Peer-Reviewed Journals in Austria 2008-2013
<p>In 2014, Archambault et al. published a report which provided data about Open Access publishing for the years 2008-2013 for all countries of the European Research Area (ERA) as well as for Brazil, Canada, Japan and the USA. They differentiated not only by disciplines but also by three OA categories: Golden, Green and a residual category. For the dataset, the data for Austria and the whole area examined has been extracted and modified. The results show above-average rates for Austria in almost all disciplines.</p>

SNSF Open Access Monitoring: Data Publications 2013-2014
<p>This spreadsheet contains supplemental data to the report: "Open Access to Publications: SNSF monitoring report 2013 - 2015" (http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.584131), where it was found that at least 39% of publications out of SNSF funded grants are either Gold or Green Open Access.</p> <p>The initial data is based on the reported publications to the Swiss National Science Foundation via the grant administration system mySNF as of <strong>11. September 2015.</strong> This data is also available as open data on p3.snf.ch. Please be aware, that grant beneficiaries can update the metadata to the reported publications, including the Open Access status anytime during and after the end of a grant.</p> <p>Prior to validation, the actual publication date of publications with “in press/accepted” status was verified insofar as possible, and the details updated (approx. 3'000 publications). For further processing only publications with <strong>publication date 2013-2014</strong> were considered. Publications with the status “in press/accepted” status were excluded. Duplicates, i.e. publications cited as output for more than one project (approx. 2'500) are also filtered out. Where identifiable as such, pure abstracts (e.g. in journal supplements), working papers and pre-prints were also excluded.</p> <p><br> The basic goal was to locate a DOI for the publication and update the metadata. 78% of the 17'420 publications scrutinised have in the meantime been assigned a DOI. Using the DOI and the linked metadata available in CrossRef, unique searches could be performed in additional sources such as DOAJ, Pubmed and Pubmed Central, OpenAIRE (repository aggregator) and ADS (Astrophysics Data System). After the initial search for open access full text in these external sources, a search was made in Google Scholar using the DOI of the remaining publications still to be validated and links to any open access full text were extracted. Where even the Google Scholar search failed to turn up open access full text, the status was set to “closed access”. The OA status of 4'212 publications from the period 2013 to 2014 remained unclear, but it is more likely that they are in closed rather than open access mode.</p>
Data for "Open Access impact on citations: a case study"
<p>This dataset is a list of 347 papers published in 2010 and retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. For each paper, the number of citations and the citation date(s) have been collected. If the full-text is available online, the date of "liberation" and the URL of the file have been retrieved as well. The objective was to assess the impact of Open access on citation rate and more particularly the impact before and after full-text "liberation".</p> <p> </p>
