Selected highlights:

Free full-text is now available from 15% of the 24 million citations in PubMed.

71% of the works indexed in PubMed funded by NIH link to free full-text (no filters on date of publication, type of work etc.)

DOAB lists more than a hundred publishers of scholarly open access books.

Social Sciences Research Network has more than half a million full text papers.

Bielefeld Academic Search Engine indexed over 75 million documents.

Due to a clean-up project, DOAJ journal numbers decreased slightly this quarter. The number of journals and articles searchable at the article level continues to grow.
