Abstract

> Figure 1. Overlap of DOAJ diamond and gold journals in OpenAlex, Scopus and
> Web of Science (including the Emerging Sources Citation Index).
> Source:10.48550/arXiv.2404.01985
> 
> Diamond open access (OA) journals offer a publishing model that is free for
> both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic
> databases presents challenges in assessing the uptake of these journals.
> Furthermore, OA characteristics such as publication language and country of
> publication have often been used to support the argument that OA journals are
> more diverse and aim to serve a local community, but there is a current lack
> of empirical evidence related to the geographical and linguistic
> characteristics of OA journals. Using OpenAlex and the Directory of Open
> Access Journals as a benchmark, this paper investigates the coverage of
> diamond and gold through authorship and journal coverage in the Web of Science
> and Scopus by field, country, and language. Results show their lower coverage
> in WoS and Scopus, and the local scope of diamond OA. The share of
> English-only journals is considerably higher among gold journals. High-income
> countries have the highest share of authorship in every domain and type of
> journal, except for diamond journals in the social sciences and humanities.
> Understanding the current landscape of diamond OA indexing can aid the
> scholarly communications network with advancing policy and practices towards
> more inclusive OA models.
