Open Access & the Diffusion of Science

“We find that … the odds that an open access journal is referenced on the English Wikipediaare 47% higher compared to closed access journals.” … the chief effect of open access policies may be to significantly amplify the diffusion ofscience, through an intermediary like Wikipedia, to a broad public audience.”

More and more Journals require Data

A recent study shows an increase of

• 16% in the number of data policies

• 30% increase in code policies
