The Sustaining the Knowledge Commons team would like to share just a little preliminary information from our 2015 survey of DOAJ journals using OA APCs. In brief, there have been some interesting changes in the mix of publishers listed in DOAJ.
For example, traditional publisher De Gruyter has gone from no DOAJ titles in 2014 to third largest DOAJ publisher with 212 titles in 2015. Elsevier is now the 7th largest DOAJ publisher. Hindawi and BioMedCentral remain the two largest publishers by number of titles offered (different from number of articles published, perhaps a more significant metric but outside the scope of our study).
