Here’s how things are going for GOAJ2: Gold Open Access Journals 2011-2016 and The Countries of OAWorld 2011-2016 and related stuff (all linked to from the project home page), through July 31, 2017 [noting that most of the last day of each month is missing because of how statistics are done):
- The dataset: 155 views, 30 downloads.
- GOAJ2: 603 PDF ebooks (no paperbacks), plus 150 copies of chapters 1-7 (C&I 17.4)
- Countries: 257 PDF ebooks (no paperbacks)
- Subject supplement (C&I 17.5): 521 copies
Oddly enough (or not), July also saw 213 downloads of Gold Open Access Journals 2011-2015 and 175 downloads of the earlier Countries version. Not sure why more people are downloading the earlier and less complete editions, but most of those may not be “people” anyway.
As a comparison for C&I issues: the July 2017 Cites & Insights, another Economics of Access essay, had 603 downloads to date.
