A new January 2011 issue of the Open Access Newsletter, providing a useful round-up of what has been a boom year for open access. The DOAJ added 1,401 new ‘pure’ OA titles in 2010, and as a regular tracker of these I’d guesstimate that perhaps 8 to 10 percent of these were arts and humanities titles (about 120 to 140 titles?). Not all of these were newly launched, since the DOAJ also sometimes retrospectively indexes established titles from previous years. In the arts and humanities the DOAJ currently lists 944 titles. So combining these figures might very roughly suggest a 14% increase in DOAJ arts and humanities titles during 2010?
