with apologies for cross-posting The September 2010 edition of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available. Highlights: DOAJ is now at 5,452 titles, and is adding 3 titles per day A BASE search of repositories worldwide encompasses more than 25 million items, growing at 8,000 documents per day 960 journals are voluntarily participating in PubMedCentral; the growth rate is about a title per day This issue asks the deliberately evocative question of whether we can now, or soon will be able to, compare open access with subscription resources on a numerical basis. For example, there are now at least four free or open access journal collections with more than twice the number of titles of the world's largest commercial publisher.
