"This book is the sixth full study of serious gold open access—open access articles in open access journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals. This and previous editions are available as free PDF ebooks or paperbacks priced to cover production costs.

This book follows the pattern of the previous versions but includes some changes. These changes are discussed in Chapter 1. The most obvious ones are the elimination of Miscellaneous as a publisher category and belatedly moving thousands of journals from “o” to “t” because they are owned by traditional publishing firms or groups. Gold Open Access by Country 2015-2020 will appear a few weeks after this book appears..."
