This white paper presents the findings from analysis of 60,567 articles, showing a clear advantage in reach and impact for articles published open access (OA) in hybrid journals compared to non-OA articles in the same journals. Explore the key findings and benefits broadly and by subject area.

The white paper provides evidence of the value of the version of record (VOR) and immediate gold open access, bringing together both analysis of VOR usage, and feedback from readers and authors via an online questionnaire.

The white paper explores what effect, if any, publishing OA has on the geographic usage of books. The findings will be of interest to researchers, authors, librarians and publishers alike.

The white paper explores data from ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× authors on the source of article processing charge (APC) funding, along with feedback from institutional interviews to facilitate a greater understanding of where funding for APCs originates and how these sources are being used. 

The white paper examines the relationship between OA and impact, demonstrating the value hybrid journals bring to researchers, funders, institutions, and society more broadly.

This report presents the first major comparative analysis of usage data for OA and non-OA scholarly books, and provides an informed view of how a book benefits from OA publication. 

A global ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× survey of more than 2,500 academic book authors provides in-depth insights into attitudes towards open access.

Based one of the largest surveys of researchers about research data, this report finds widespread data sharing associated with published works and a desire from researchers that their data are discoverable. 

The white paper proposes five measures that will help in making data sharing more efficient and ensure good data practice. Bringing together survey results from more than 11,000 researchers, we explore the challenges they face, as well as their attitudes and behaviours towards data sharing.

A survey of more than 1,000 Japanese researchers, looking at the challenges and opportunities in data sharing in Japan. 

The white paper explores our experience and the growth of OA in the UK, examining the underpinning circumstances and contributing factors based on funder, institution, researcher, and publisher initiatives. 

The 2019 survey results show that while most trends are encouraging around the adoption and acceptance of open data, the research community is now demanding more enforcement of the mandates that have been adopted by many governments, funders, publishers and institutions around the world. 

The 2018 survey results continue to show encouraging progress, that open data is becoming more embedded in the research community.
