So far, 9,400 journals have been checked. Total articles for 2024: 847,494; for 2023, 841,819. Of these, 3,902 have fees, and 5,598 don’t (diamond OA). 952 are newly-added and 8,548 are ongoing. 1,425 will be rechecked, including most of these special cases (except bi and xd):
- Inactive (bi): 217.
- Expired (xd): 111
- Malware (xm): 381
- Not OA (xn): 30–note that this includes journals dropped from DOAJ.
- Unavailable/unworkable (xx): 384
Another milestone of sorts: the 2024 article count is already higher than the total 2018 article count in the eighth study (Gold Open Access Journals 2017-2022), which was 835,434.
