Revision as of 14:35, 8 February 2018
This list is part of the Open Access Directory.
- This is a list of numbers measuring the status or growth of open access.
- The format is: Number. Date [last verified or updated]. Annotation. Please use links whenever possible so that users can verify and update the numbers.
- Peter Suber started this list on Wikipedia in early 2005. Wikipedians deleted it twice and then chopped it into pieces. We restored it here on OAD, and have been expanding and updating it since 2008.
- If these numbers don't tell the whole story, please add new numbers to tell more of the story rather than delete numbers already here.
