We have lists of journal usage, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Academic_Journals/Journals_cited_by_Wikipedia/Popular1 and Wikipedia articles about journals often have OA information in the infobox. e.g. our most cited journal, J. Biol. Chem., is 12 month delay OA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Biological_Chemistry -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
