So far, 5,900 journals have been checked. Total articles for 2024: 591,777; for 2023, 561,805. Of these, 2,869 have fees, and 4,031 don’t (diamond OA). 706 are newly-added and 6,194 are ongoing. 1,074 will be rechecked, including most of these special cases (except bi and xd):
- Inactive (bi): 161.
- Expired (xd): 80
- Malware (xm): 277
- Not OA (xn): 15–note that this includes journals dropped from DOAJ.
- Unavailable/unworkable (xx): 264,
Another milestone of sorts: the 2024 article count is already higher than the total 2015 article count in the sixth study (Gold Open Access Journals 2015-2020), which was 589,264.
