Data from: The State of OA: A large-scale analysis of the prevalence and impact of Open Access articles
<p>This is the raw data behind the publication: </p> <p><strong>The State of OA: A large-scale analysis of the prevalence and impact of Open Access articles.</strong></p> <p>Despite growing interest in Open Access (OA) to scholarly literature, there is an unmet need for large-scale, up-to-date, and reproducible studies assessing the prevalence and characteristics of OA. We address this need using oaDOI, an open online service that determines OA status for 67 million articles. We use three samples, each of 100,000 articles, to investigate OA in three populations: 1) all journal articles assigned a Crossref DOI, 2) recent journal articles indexed in Web of Science, and 3) articles viewed by users of Unpaywall, an open-source browser extension that lets users find OA articles using oaDOI. We estimate that at least 28% of the scholarly literature is OA (19M in total) and that this proportion is growing, driven particularly by growth in Gold and Hybrid. The most recent year analyzed (2015) also has the highest percentage of OA (45%). Because of this growth, and the fact that readers disproportionately access newer articles, we find that Unpaywall users encounter OA quite frequently: 47% of articles they view are OA. Notably, the most common mechanism for OA is not Gold, Green, or Hybrid OA, but rather an under-discussed category we dub Bronze: articles made free-to-read on the publisher website, without an explicit Open license. We also examine the citation impact of OA articles, corroborating the so-called open-access citation advantage: accounting for age and discipline, OA articles receive 18% more citations than average, an effect driven primarily by Green and Hybrid OA. We encourage further research using the free oaDOI service, as a way to inform OA policy and practice.</p>
'Opening the Future' - a new funding model for open-access monographs: introducing an innovative approach to publishing OA books through library membership funding
<p>We showcase a collaborative pilot case study that implements an innovative open access revenue model at the Central European University Press and Liverpool University Press, with assistance from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). Building on existing library subscription models (e.g. OBP, punctum), this is a sustainable OA publishing model that gives library members access to a highly-regarded backlist, with the membership fees then used to make the frontlist openly accessible.<br> Given the current global library environment and existing budget pressures that have been exacerbated by Covid-19, a consortial model of funding promises a cost-effective solution for OA that means no single institution bears a disproportionate burden. This model, then, appeals to both those who wish to pay for subscription-access content (more traditional university acquisition models) and those who support OA initiatives. It brings many institutions together under one roof for an affordable route to open access books.<br> Library members get access to a selection of the publishers’ backlists, DRM free and with perpetual access after three years. In return, the membership revenue is used to make newly-published books openly accessible to anyone with an internet connection.<br> We believe Opening the Future is a trailblazer in scholarly comms, offering a viable and affordable route to OA change for small/medium university presses and which appeals to libraries of all sizes and budgets. We aim to open up research for the public good. The model that we are piloting reduces inequalities in access to open access publication by eradicating exclusionary book processing charges (BPCs).<br> As we progress with the pilot, we are writing up everything we’ve done to implement the model and will release this and any software as a free toolkit, so that other publishers can use it and also take the leap.</p>
Open Access (OA) publication analysis of Tsinghua University in the context of Open Science - An example of Tsinghua University's publication on AGU in 2012-2022
<p>This dataset presents the publication of academic papers in American Geophysical Union (AGU)* Journals at Tsinghua University in 2012-2022, and conducts a statistical analysis of the publication of academic papers from the perspectives of the distribution of faculty sources, Open Access (OA) types, and repositories. The statistical analysis provides supports for the investigation of OA publishing behavior in the context of Open Science and the formulation of OA transformation policies.</p> <p> </p> <p>*Note: AGU is a non-profit organization composed of Earth, Atmospheric, Oceanic, Hydrologic, Space and Planetary scientists and enthusiasts. As a scholarly publisher, there are currently 14 subscription Journals and 12 OA Journals, and Science DB is included and certified by AGU as its recommended general repository.</p>
Data From: The Future of OA: A large-scale analysis projecting Open Access publication and readership
<p>This is the raw data behind the publication on bioRxiv at https://doi.org/10.1101/795310: </p> <p><strong>Piwowar, Priem, Orr (2019) The Future of OA: A large-scale analysis projecting Open Access publication and readership. bioRxiv: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/795310">https://doi.org/10.1101/795310</a></strong></p> <p>The jupyter notebook that produces the manuscript using the data here is available at: <a href="https://github.com/Impactstory/future-oa">https://github.com/Impactstory/future-oa</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Summary:</p> <p>Understanding the growth of open access (OA) is important for deciding funder policy, subscription allocation, and infrastructure planning.</p> <p>This study analyses the number of papers available as OA over time. The models includes both OA embargo data and the relative growth rates of different OA types over time, based on the OA status of 70 million journal articles published between 1950 and 2019.</p> <p>The study also looks at article usage data, analyzing the proportion of views to OA articles vs views to articles which are closed access. Signal processing techniques are used to model how these viewership patterns change over time. Viewership data is based on 2.8 million uses of the Unpaywall browser extension in July 2019.</p> <p>We found that Green, Gold, and Hybrid papers receive more views than their Closed or Bronze counterparts, particularly Green papers made available within a year of publication. We also found that the proportion of Green, Gold, and Hybrid articles is growing most quickly.</p> <p>In 2019:</p> <ul> <li> <p>31% of all journal articles are available as OA</p> </li> <li> <p>52% of article views are to OA articles</p> </li> </ul> <p>Given existing trends, we estimate that by 2025:</p> <ul> <li> <p>44% of all journal articles will be available as OA</p> </li> <li> <p>70% of article views will be to OA articles</p> </li> </ul> <p>The declining relevance of closed access articles is likely to change the landscape of scholarly communication in the years to come.</p>
