Really brief highlights:
Over 150 publishers of peer-reviewed open access books in Directory of
Open Access Books.
DOAJ’s strongest growth quarter to date - average of over 6 titles
(net) per day.
The repositories contributing metadata to the Bielefeld Academic
Search Engine collectively grew by over 4.7 million documents for a
total of close to 89 million documents.
PubMed is falling behind on indexing due to a transition to automated
indexing - no serious consequences with respect to this series, but
here’s hoping they catch up really soon as a lot of people rely on
this index for medical information.
PubMedCentral continues to grow in journal participation, journals
with immediate free access, and journals with all content open access.
