The document presents initial findings from the SOAP project, which surveyed the landscape of open access (OA) publishing with contributions from various researchers and institutions. It highlights the supply and demand of OA journals, citing that 90% of publishers publish fewer than 100 articles annually, while a small number account for the majority of output. The survey results reveal insights into demographics, beliefs, and the perceived benefits of OA journals across different fields of study.

4. SOAP
Study of Open Access Publishing
• Funded by the European Commission
• Framework Program 7 – Science and Society
• Scheduled to run from March 2009 to February 2011
• Compare and contrast supply/demand for OA publishing
• Publishers, Libraries, Funding Agencies

6. A study of OA journals today
• Assess the supply of OA publishing outlets today
• Start from the DOAJ
• Collect additional information
– SCOPUS, ISI-JCR, EZB, SCImago, ask friends and colleagues
– Trawl through thousands of web pages
• Answer key questions
– How many articles, journals, publishers?
– In which discipline, with which license?
– Where does the money come from?
– …
• Some highlights in the following pages
Salvatore Mele | CERN COASP - Prague - August 23rd, 2010 6

7. How many?
• English language journals
• 90% of publishers <100 articles/year and 1/3 of total
• 10% of publishers publish 2/3 of the total
• 14 “large publishers”:
- 40K articles/year in 616 journals, 30% of the total
- 6 commercial, 6 no-profit, 2 N/A

9. About what?
• 2/3 of journals in STM; 1/3 in SSH
• 3/4 of articles in STM; 1/4 in SSH
• “Large publisher” almost exclusively STM

10. Licensing practices
• 1/2 of “Large” publishers use Creative Commons
• 82% CC-by, 18% CC-by-nc
• 72% of journals, 71% of articles
• “Other” publishers
• 73% only with available information
• 21% use some CC version
• 10% state “authors retains copyright”

39. Beliefs about OA – positive
1 Strongly agree; 2 Neutral; 3 Disagree; 4 Strongly disagree
Would OA journal be beneficial? Yes Negative
Publicly-funded research should be
made available to be read and used 1.5 2.2
without access barrier
Researchers should retain the rights to
their published work and allow it to be 2.0 2.2
used by others
Articles that are available by OA are
likely to be read and cited more often 2.1 3.0

Open Access publishing is more cost-
effective than subscriptions and will 2.4 3.1
benefit public investment in research
If authors pay OA publication fees there
will be less money available for 2.6 2.3
research
OA unfairly penalises research-intensive
institutions with large publication

quality research
Open Access publishing undermines the

62. Conclusions
• Strive to provide facts on which to base decisions
(EC, publishers, libraries, funding agencies)
• Just scratched the surface of the survey so far
• More questions on drivers/barriers in publishing
• 17’000 scientists left e-mail for further contact
• Need to understand what to ask more…
…to the data
…to the volunteers
Salvatore Mele | CERN COASP - Prague - August 23rd, 2010 62

63. Outline
• About the project
• Highlights from a study of OA journals today
• Results from a large-scale survey
• How can you help…
(…this afternoon at 17:15!)
