Peter Suber, SPARC Open Access Newsletter, 1/2/11: "Open access in 2010
The growth of OA over the past year was deep, wide, and steady. While this has been true every year since my first year-end review in 2003, the difficulty of documenting that growth with useful detail has become nearly unmangeable. In fact, this has also been true for several years. At some point --roughly now-- we'll have to accept that OA movement is so large that annual reviews must either be sketchy or come out six months late. To cover the territory in a manageable time, I've long since dropped most new developments in open education, public-sector information, and wikis. I don't even try to list all new individual OA journals, OA repositories, or all new open-data or open-digitization projects. I'm keeping the section I added last year on the recession, since the recession continues to permeate action and policy nearly everywhere.
But with these caveats, here's a feast of the OA highlights from 2010. As always, apologies to the many projects I had to omit.
If you're in a hurry, jump to Section 10 for some highlights of the highlights."
