The 2010 Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available at:
http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-dramatic-growth-of-open-access.htmlHighlights: 2010 was the strongest year of growth for open access, at
least so far, with 14 measures showing growth of 30% or better!
In 2010, DOAJ added 1,401 journals for a current total of 5,936
titles, a growth rate of 4 titles per day. OpenDOAR added about one
repository per day. PubMedCentral features more than 3 million free
articles, a growth of 11% in 2010, and more than 1,000 journals are
now voluntarily participating in PMC. A Scientific Commons search now
encompasses more than 38 million publications, an increase of over 6
million in 2010.
This issue of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access includes new
historical data thanks to Tim Gray of Homerton College Library and The
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, and the first edition of The
Dramatic Growth of Open Access Rationale and Methodology. The Show
Growth version focuses on 2010 growth, and now includes columns for
average daily, weekly, and monthly growth which may be useful for
illustration purposes.
Happy New Year to everyone in the open access movement!
