“Grades of Openness. Open and Closed Articles in Norway” (August 2018)…

Based on the total scholarly article output of Norway, we investigated the coverage and degree of openness according to three bibliographic services: 1) Google Scholar, 2) oaDOI by Impact Story [now called Impactstory], and 3) 1findr [formerly oaFindr].
