[GOAL] Dramatic Growth of Open Access June 30, 2018

[Heather Morrison]

The Dramatic Growth of Open Access for June 30, 2018 is now available:

https://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com/2018/07/dramatic-growth-of-open-access-june-2018.html

Highlights:

DOAJ recently surpassed a a milestone of 3 million articles searchable at the article level, and added a net of 7 titles per day in the past quarter.

Newcomer bioRxiv is really taking off.

38 of the limited number of indicators I track are growing at double or more the baseline rate of growth of scholarly journals and articles.

There are 2 indicators with negative growth; reader help in interpreting would be appreciated. A PubMed search for "cancer" with no date limit returns 1% less free full-text than March 31 (the same search with recent data limiters shows growth). Internet Archive images have grown quite substantially in the past year, but decreased by 18% this quarter.

best,
