New Data: Fully OA Journals Output Shrank in 2023, But Hybrid OA Made Up the Lost Ground

From OASPA (Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association; Guest Post by Dan Pollock, Delta Think):

OASPA members were invited to share their data to update our previous post on this topic, from January 2024.

Information covers the number of open access articles across both fully OA and hybrid journals, and the licenses under which those articles were published, up to the end of 2023. Figures were supplied as number of articles published per year since implementation of the license by that publisher. See the downloadable spreadsheet for full details here.

The post includes discussion and charts organized into these sections:

• Growth in OA articles published by OASPA Members has slowed significantly
• Output in fully-OA journals shrinks for the first time while hybrid OA grows
• CC BY continues to dominate, gaining ground particularly in hybrid OA
• OA output continues to be highly consolidated
