This blog post published today highlights our findings which showed that growth in the volume of publications from OASPA members in 2024 slowed further compared with previous years, and is significantly lower than the long term average. As we saw last year, there is a drop in total output across fully OA journals, although hybrid OA content continues to show stronger growth and makes up the shortfall.

Please feel free to use and share the data. This post is a volumetric analysis about the quantity of open access journal outputs, and we know this is not the whole story in open access publishing. Do please get in touch with questions, comments or suggestions about other helpful indicators of progress and evolution in open access today.

Best wishes,
