The first full week of research for Gold/Diamond OA 2025 is complete (technically, eight days, because I’m using a weekly planner that ends on Wednesday): 1,400 journals scanned.
Summary numbers (thanks to PivotTables):
- 72,571 articles for 2024 (subject to change as some journals are rechecked). 69,112 for 2023.
- 440 journals with fees; 960 diamond journals.
- 169 newly-added journals; 1,231 continuing.
- 248 journals will need rechecking
- While 1,254 journals are “normal” there are quite a few special cases: 34 inactive journals; 16 defunct; 35 malware; 2 that don’t appear to be OA; and 59 that were either inaccessible or unworkable. Note that I’m counting SSL and certificate issues as malware for now; as with all other XM and XX (the last two counts) that weren’t similarly problematic last year, they’ll be rechecked.
