dcterms.abstract | With the growing number of open access (OA) mandates, the accurate measurement of OA
publishing is an important policy issue. Existing studies have provided estimates of the prevalence of OA publications ranging from 27.9% to 53.7%, depending on the data source and
period of investigation. This paper aims at providing a comparison of the proportion of OA
publishing as represented in two major bibliometric databases, Web of Science (WoS) and
Dimensions, and assesses how the choice of database affects the measurement of OA
across different countries. Results show that a higher proportion of publications indexed in
Dimensions are OA than those indexed by WoS, and that this is particularly true for publications originating from outside North America and Europe. The paper concludes with a discussion of the cause and consequences of these differences, motivating the use of more
inclusive databases when examining OA, especially for publications originating beyond
North America and Europe. | fr |
