I just mailed the December issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.
This issue takes a close look at OA journals published by scholarly
societies. Excerpt: "How many scholarly societies publish OA
journals, and how many OA journals do they publish? Four years ago
(November 2007), Caroline Sutton and I released the first edition of
our inventory answering those questions, and today we release the
second edition. Cutting to the chase: Our 2007 list turned up 425
societies publishing 450 full or non-hybrid OA journals. Our 2011
list shows 530 societies publishing 616 full OA journals."
The look-back sections reprint short excerpts from SOAN five and ten
years ago this quarter.
