Publishers of journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

The file contains all publishers of journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). On August 1, 2017, 9,621 journals were listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Only 32 publishers published more than 20 of these journals and thus have a quantitatively significant influence on Open Access. PLOS can not be found among them, but still has influence, but more qualitative than quantitative. These 32 publishers publish 2,950 journals, which are 31% of all journals listed in the DOAJ. At this date, the DOAJ reported 7,474 publishers, thus 0.43% of all DOAJ-listed publishers produced 31% of the journals. Of these 2,950 journals, 1,641 (56%) are in the hand of publishers who already dominate the market in the subscription model: e.g. Elsevier, Springer Nature (including BioMed Central, Frontiers), Wiley, SAGE, De Gruyter, Taylor & Francis, OUP, Wolters Kluwer). The data was gathered at August 1, 2017 using the Directory of Open Access Journals web interface. The total number of journals at this point of time was 9,621.本数据集收录了开放获取期刊目录（Directory of Open Access Journals，DOAJ）中所有期刊的出版机构信息。2017年8月1日，该目录共收录9621种期刊。其中仅有32家出版机构运营的期刊数量超过20种，因此在开放获取领域具备显著的量化影响力。公共科学图书馆（PLOS）虽未跻身上述32家机构之列，但其影响力更多体现在质性层面而非量化层面。这32家出版机构共计出版2950种期刊，占该目录收录期刊总量的31%。截至该日期，开放获取期刊目录（DOAJ）共收录7474家出版机构，换言之，仅占总数0.43%的出版机构却贡献了31%的收录期刊。在这2950种期刊中，有1641种（占比56%）由已在订阅制出版市场占据主导地位的出版机构运营，例如爱思唯尔（Elsevier）、施普林格自然（Springer Nature，含BioMed Central、Frontiers）、威利（Wiley）、赛吉（SAGE）、德古意特（De Gruyter）、泰勒&弗朗西斯（Taylor & Francis）、牛津大学出版社（OUP）以及威科集团（Wolters Kluwer）。本数据集于2017年8月1日通过开放获取期刊目录（DOAJ）的官方网页界面采集所得，彼时该目录收录的期刊总量为9621种。
