Dramatic Growth of Open Access October 1, 2019 - Dramatic Growth of Open Access Dataverse

The October 1, 2019 open data version of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available. This series includes macro level data on open access growth such as number of OA repositories, journals, and books globally, on a quarterly basis from 2004 to the present. The dataset is in excel format and it is fairly easy to manipulate to create charts or assess growth numbers. For example, OpenDOAR lists 1,234 repositories in the Americas as of Oct. 1 compared to 1,129 as of June 30, a growth of 105 repositories. That's more than the number of days in this quarter, so you could say that every day in the Americas another open access repository launches.
