The Countries of OAWorld 2: 2011-2016 | Cites & Insights

"I’m delighted to announce that The Countries of OAWorld 2: 2011-2016 is now available as a free PDF book or a $7 trade paperback. Check the Gold Open Access Journals page (waltcrawford.name/goaj.html) for links to this and to GOAJ2: Gold Open Access Journals 2011-2016.

The new publication devotes a chapter to each region and country (or named geographic entity in the Directory of Open Access Journals) with at least ten OAWorld journals (that is, active DOAJ-listed journals that aren’t published by a dozen primarily-APC-charging publishers). Countries with at least 25 journals have six tables and two graphs providing a range of perspectives on OA activity. Those with ten to 24 have the same minus one graph. Countries with no APC-charging journals have simplified tables and, naturally, omit the table of APC levels and revenues. For six regions, an additional chapter summarizes OA activity in countries with fewer than ten OA journals (53 in all)."
