The third quarter Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available.
There will be plenty to celebrate for this year’s open access week!

Highlights:

Globally OA repository contents have exceeded a milestone of over 100
million documents as indirectly measured by a BASE meta-search. This
dispersed collection is now an order of magnitude larger than Science
Direct!

Despite a vigorous weeding and new get-tough inclusion policy, DOAJ
articles searchable at article level grew by about a quarter million
this past year, and DOAJ is now adding titles at the rate of 1.5 per
day. OpenDOAR added new repositories at almost exactly the same rate
as DOAJ added journal titles.

Internet Archive now has over 3 million audio recordings. There are
over 2,000 more OA books and 161 more publishers in DOAB than there
were a year ago.

PubMedCentral continues to show strong growth in every measure: more
journals actively participating, more providing immediate free access,
all articles open access, some articles open access.
