Usage of Knowledge Unlatched titles doubled within one quarter – Knowledge Unlatched

"The Open Access (OA) books funded through Knowledge Unlatched (KU) have doubled their usage between the second and third quarters 2017. With an aggregate of 228,000 full-text downloads on the OAPEN platform (www.oapen.org) and through the addition of 67,068 chapter downloads on the JSTOR platform (www.jstor.com), KU has been able to deliver on the promise of OA and dramatically increase the visibility of scholarly content by making it available to researchers worldwide free of charge. KU only reports usage on OAPEN and JSTOR, although the Open Access content is also hosted in multiple other places, such as on publisher platforms, in library systems and on the Internet Archive."
