Here’s a fun Friday activity for all of you who like to track the stats of the inevitable rise and world domination of OA!
Heather from SPARC turned me onto this. it’s almost as much fun as watching the number of members to this group grow, we are now at 700!.
Did you know that there are currently 2893 OA journals in the directory of open access journals (http://www.DOAJ.org) and that 63 new ones came on board in the last 30 days, that’s about 2 per day. Wow.
Another cool mash up site (great logo, takes a minute or so to load) is http://maps.repository66.org/ there you can see the number of OA repositories mapped across the globe, there were 808 as of earlier today.
Gotta love that.

Wow! Just a few days ago I checked DOAJ and there were half that many OA journals listed! Very happy!
