Description

Global Open Access Journal Publishing

This report forecasts to 2028 the global open access (OA) journal publishing market in US dollars. The market data is provided by metric: OA journals revenue, scholarly journal revenue, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) OA journal titles, and DOAJ OA journal articles.

To illustrate historical trends, market data is provided for 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The coverage of OA in this report includes journals listed in the DOAJ and publisher members of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). Subject matter ranges across scholarly and professional publishing, primarily scientific, technical, and medical (STM), but also social sciences and the humanities. Journals in this report are defined as electronic periodicals and peer-reviewed journals that are published more than once a year. Open access means articles are freely available online without paywalls or subscriptions.

Sales are global and include all publishing that fits the definition of subject and level common to Simba's research. Scientific, technical, medical, and social science publishing – particularly research and specialty journal publishing – is dominated by English-language journals. Significant numbers of OA articles are also produced in Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and Chinese. These languages are particularly important in social science and humanities publishing, and the more applied aspects of engineering and healthcare.

Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
