Gray Portraits

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-11-02

Summary:

"If you’re seeking importance, you may have come to the wrong place. This piece is a series of brief portraits of the most prolific gray OA publishers and “publishers,” where “prolific” is measured by number of journals, not number of articles. Publishers are discussed in descending order by number of journals. Key Numbers Of the many gray OA publishers, 138 show at least 20 journals. Those 138 entities account for 14,688 journals (78% of the gray OA universe) and published 101,848 articles in 2017 (projected) (34% of the total); 104,841 in 2016 (35%); 95,364 in 2015 (34%); and 81,406 in 2014 (35%). Of that group, 29 entities list 100 or more journals each, accounting for 10,144 journals in all (54% of the universe) that published 33,998 projected articles in 2017 (11% of the total); 39,675 in 2016 (13%); 37,199 in 2015 (13%); and 34,099 in 2014 (14%). I’m looking at the top 29."
