We have just published our 2015-16 analysis of the Wellcome/COAF APC spend.

Headlines:


  *   The total cost of the 3,552 COAF-supported publications was £7.3 million. This is an increase of £1.6m from 2014-15<https://wellcome.ac.uk/news/wellcome-trust-and-coaf-open-access-spend-2014%E2%80%9315>.
  *   91% of the articles are compliant with the open access criteria. This is a significant improvement on last year's 74%.
  *   The cost of open access publishing continues to rise - hybrid journals are more expensive than fully open access journals.
