Dramatic Growth of Open Access: Dec. 11, 2010 Early Year-End Edition

Heather Morrison-2
*** with apologies for cross-posting ***

The Dec. 11, 2010 Early Year-End Edition of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available at:

Highlights:

The Directory of Open Access Journals now lists more than 5,800 journals, and is adding about 4 titles per day (a growing growth rate)
Over 7,500 journals worldwide use Open Journal Systems
More than 1,000 journals participate voluntarily in PubMedCentral; over half provide immediate open access to all articles
OA mandates continue to lead the dramatic growth of open access percentage-wise

Does anyone know if there are similar updates on growth of open data? Or, if there are sites which I could look at to quickly get a few numbers that would be useful as summary info (e.g., # of cities with open data resolutions), I would be interested in adding open data numbers to this quarterly series.
