Thanks for your kind words, Jeroen. I have already made the correction on DOAJ on my blog. Agreed on pointing to and supporting each other.

Dear Heather,

Thanks for this and for your ongoing efforts in tracking OA developments. A small correction: DOAJ foresees its 2.5 millionth article not 250 millionth). I think it would be good if OA indexing and aggregating services, esp. the non-commercial ones (SHARE, Base search, DOAJ search, Scielo, CORE etc.) started to also refer to each other, more than presenting themselves as the one place to go for discovery in an open world.

Best,
Jeroen

The June 30 Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available at:
http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.ca/2017/06/dramatic-growth-of-open-access-june-30.html


Highlights

Open access continues to demonstrate robust growth on a global scale, in terms of works that are made available open access, ongoing growth in infrastructure (new repositories, journals, book publishers), strong growth for new initiatives such as SocArxiv, BioRxiv, the Directory of Open Access Books, SCOAP3, as well as ongoing strong growth in established services such as BASE, PubMed / PubMedCentral, Internet Archive (check out the new Collections including a Trump archive and FactChecker), DOAJ (watch for the quarter billionth article in the near future), RePEC and arXiv. Ongoing growth in infrastructure and OA policy give every reason to expect this growth to be ongoing.
