In PLoS ONE berichtten onderzoekers van de Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, over het aandeel van open access tijdschriften in de gehele wetenschappelijke productie in "Open access to the scientific journal literature: Situation 2009".
"The results show that OA already has a significant positive impact on the availability of the scientific journal literature and that there are big differences between scientific disciplines in the uptake. Due to the lack of awareness of OA-publishing among scientists in most fields outside physics, the results should be of general interest to all scholars. The results should also interest academic publishers, who need to take into account OA in their business strategies and copyright policies, as well as research funders, who like the NIH are starting to require OA availability of results from research projects they fund. The method and search tools developed also offer a good basis for more in-depth studies as well as longitudinal studies."
