The Country-Level Degrowth of Open Access in Australia

Whereas an OASPA webinar, from late March 2021, has concentrated on Australia’s transition to Open Access, it has also indicated a peak in its Open Access output occurring in 2018. This is similar to the degrowth tendencies setting in across some other countries in two recent years. This transition phase certainly derives from a significant contraction in the Green Open Access output and a comparatively slower pace of growth in the Gold Open Access output in this period.
