BASE Lab (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine): Advanced Search. The New Wave of Gold OA Journals. English: Slow motion wave (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Gold open access (OA) journals appear to be proliferating, generating a virtual tidal wave of new titles.
This is the upshot of a small research project I recently completed. Additional information and comment will be appreciated. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) lists just over 8,000 gold OA journals, with more than 1,000 having been added in just the last 12 months, and more than 1,000 in the year before that. Moreover, DOAJ search results for some major publishers list far fewer journals than the publishers themselves list. Note however that most gold OA journals are quite small. The field consists of a relatively few very large publishers, plus a great many publishers of just one or a few journals.
Note too that a significant fraction of the journals listed by DOAJ are not in the areas of science, technology, and medicine (STM). Hindawi Publishing Corporation (Egypt). Like this: Open Access: Going for Gold? *The embed functionality can only be used for non commercial purposes.

Description On 27th September 2012 the Imperial College SciCommForum held a follow up discussion on open access to publicly funded research in response to the Finch Report and RCUK Policy. We were joined by Mark Thorley (NERC, RCUK) and Professor Stephen Curry (Imperial College) and Richard Van Noorden (Nature News) chaired the discussion. We had representatives from HEFCE, Wellcome Trust, RLUK, MRC, NIMR, Imperial College Library - and more - in the audience, and the discussion continued on Twitter under the hashtag #icoa. With thanks to Professor Stephen Webster (Imperial College) for funding. Twitter: @SciCommForum Published on 28 Sep 2012 - 15:50 (GMT) Filesize is 112.43 MB License (what's this?)
