Abstract

The objective of this study was to explore the trends in the publication and production of open access (OA) and non-OA journals and articles over the last decade. Non-OA journals include subscription and hybrid journals, the articles of which cannot be freely accessed by researchers. To conduct this study, we used SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) data from 2011 to 2021. In analyzing the SJR data, we categorized publishers by the number of journals and articles published. The results showed the following: (a) although the number of OA journals has increased rapidly between 2011 and 2021, their share of total publications is still significantly lower than that of non-OA journals; (b) between 2011 and 2021, the number of publishers of non-OA journals had decreased slightly, while the number of OA journal publishers has increased rapidly; (c) publishers of all sizes increased the production of OA journal articles between 2011 and 2021, but the share of top publishers increased the most; and (d) MDPI, as a born-OA publisher, has become a global leader in OA journal article publishing in recent years.

OA和非OA期刊出版和生产的十年变化

本研究的目的是探索过去十年开放获取（OA）和非OA期刊和文章的出版和生产趋势。非OA期刊包括订阅期刊和混合期刊，研究人员无法自由访问这些期刊的文章。为了进行这项研究，我们使用了2011年至2021年的SCImago期刊排名（SJR）数据。在分析SJR数据时，我们根据发表的期刊和文章数量对出版商进行了分类。结果显示：（a）尽管OA期刊的数量在2011年至2021年间迅速增长，但其在出版物总量中的份额仍显著低于非OA期刊；（b） 2011年至2021年间，非OA期刊的出版商数量略有下降，而OA期刊出版商数量迅速增加；（c） 2011年至2021年间，各种规模的出版商都增加了OA期刊文章的产量，但顶级出版商的份额增幅最大；（d）MDPI作为一家天生的OA出版商，近年来已成为OA期刊文章出版的全球领导者。
