<br>Part of the problem in this area is that distributions are extremely skewed. Thus Peter Suber has found that "most open access journals charge no APCs or subscription" but this reflects the long tail of small publishers. It's intrinsically very difficult to produce summary tables that give all the messages.<br>
<br>There could be a role here for crowdsourcing some of this data collection. There are a lot of interested parties and many would - I think - be prepared to contribute data when they coma across it. It's also a way of ensuring consistency/compatibility the different approaches needed. <br>
