Open and Shut?: The State of Open Access: Some New Data
lterrat's bookmarks 2017-08-03
Summary:
"A preprint posted on PeerJ yesterday offers some new insight into the number of articles now available on an open-access basis.
The new study is different to previous ones in a number of ways, not least because it includes data from users of Unpaywall, a browser plug-in that identifies papers that researchers are looking for, and then checks to see whether the papers are available for free anywhere on the Web."
