March 31, 2010 Dramatic Growth of Open Access

I just released the March 31, 2010 Dramatic Growth of Open Access.

Highlights:

DOAJ is now at 4,863 journals, having added a net total of 864 
journals in the past year for a DOAJ growth rate of over 2 titles 
per day. The Bielefeld Academic Search Engine now searches over 
23 million documents; this is an increase of over 1.2 million in 
the last quarter, or over 13,000 documents per day. There are now 
more than 200 open access mandate policies listed in ROARMAP, 
with strong growth in every category. Compliance with the U.S. 
National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy is 62% - still 
not 100%, but definitely getting closer. In the past year,120 
more journals began contributing all content as open access to 
PubMedCentral. There are now more than 5,000 journals around the 
world using Open Journal Systems (OJS).
