Open access is growing

From Heather Morrison, University of Ottawa, Canada *Sunday, July 06, 2014* Dramatic Growth of Open Access June 30, 2014 The June 30, 2014 *Dramatic Growth of Open Access* celebrates the milestone of more than half a million articles funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health that are now freely accessible! After 3 years, the percentage of items found through a PubMed search funded by NIH rises to 71% (for NIH staff), 66% for NIH external funded research, and 31% for any article regardless of funding. At first glance, this looks a lot like evidence suggesting the NIH Public Access Policy is very effective, more than doubling the percentage of items freely available! Thanks to Jihane Salhab from the Sustaining the Knowledge Commons team <http://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/about-the-team/> for the charts, data gathering and analysis of PMC Free this quarter. <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5yaNApwalqc/U7oAXXS5ofI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/dWlGE3MqL-w/s…> Research Support, N.I.H. Extramural + Intramural <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JZI-66a4NqU/U7oAXZ441oI/AAAAAAAAA6g/ly7lKrZrUAA/s…> Research Support, N.I.H., Intramural [pt] <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nrcv0jpDXlY/U7oAXQEKzJI/AAAAAAAAA6c/bBSMmi5kQRo/s…> Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural [pt] <http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WmY8deJUA0o/U7oAX7exyfI/AAAAAAAAA6s/KDy4hZIEFuc/s…> No Limits (No distinction based on researcher) The Dramatic Growth of Open Access Series is a quarterly series (end of March, June, September, and December) of key data illustrating the growth of open access, with additional comments and analysis. The series is available in open data and blogpost (commentary) editions. The quarterly series began December 31, 2005, and is predated by a peer-reviewed journal article featuring data as of February 2005. To download the data or the rationale & method, see the Dramatic Growth of Open Access dataverse. Morrison, Heather, 2014-03, "Dramatic Growth of Open Access", http://hdl.handle.net/10864/10660 Morrison, Heather [Distributor] V1 [Version]. The rationale and method has not been updated; March 31 is the latest. If you are using the June 30, 2014 PMC Free data, please Morrison, Heather and Salhab, Jihane. *More highlights this quarter* By the numbers, it's usually the large, well-established and much used services that tend to impress. This quarter, the Bielefeld Academic Search Engine added 140 content providers and over 2 million documents for a total of over 3,000 content providers (illustrating the growth of the repository movement) and 62 million items (illustrating the growth of self-archiving). The Internet Archive gathered another 14 billion webpages for a total of 416 billion. The Electronic Journals library added another 958 journals that can be read free-of-charge for a total of over 45 thousand free journals. PubMedCentral added about 100 thousand free articles, for a total of over 3 million, and the number of journals actively contributing to PMC that now provide immediate free access grew by 63 to a total of 1,315. Searchable article growth in DOAJ was 75,000, bringing the total number of articles searchable by article in DOAJ to over 1.6 million. By percentage growth, it's the newest services starting off with nothing that have the greatest ability to impress. SCOAP3, the high energy physics full flip to open access global collaboration, started this January and nearly doubled the article count this quarter, to a total of over 2,000 articles. The Directory of Open Access Books added 6 publishers and 175 books for a total of 68 publishers and over 200 books. Highwire Press added 8 completely free sites, for a total of 107 completely free sites, 8% growth this quarter (annual equivalent 32%). *Items of interest since March 31, 2014* - Two milestones for the Open Access Tracking Project <https://plus.google.com/+PeterSuber/posts/5McQa2evrZB?utm_source=feedburner…> - 30,000 tagged resources in the project database and 20,000 in the project feed (thanks to Peter Suber) - Open Corporates now has data on over 65 million companies <http://opencorporates.com/> - Harvard's DASH new download records <https://plus.google.com/111058536544461893402/posts/YTFErD9WB5C> - Two milestones for the Bielefeld Academic Search Engine - over 60 million documents, over 3,000 content providers <http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pipermail/goal/2014-May/002755.html> - June 4: the home page for Peter Suber's MIT Press book *Open Access <https://plus.google.com/+PeterSuber/posts/DAxeGH3SV2a>* passed the milestone of 100,000 page views (I highly recommend this as an excellent brief starting point for learning about OA).
