Data for Open Access Patterns in Emerging Scholars’ Journal Choice: A Bibliometric Analysis

This bibliometric analysis of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill research provides a case study for tenure-track faculty’s open access publishing action. Looking specifically at the publications of 300 tenure-track assistant professors and instructors, this study creates a series of quantitative information visualizations to see researcher publishing trends leading up to tenure review. It identifies the proportion of assistant professors publishing open access, breaks down the top departments, and shows how open access has increased over time. The study can inform efforts to provide services for tenure-track faculty and emerging scholars. Data from this study was collected through Scopus. Code and interactive visualizations are provided as supplemental files.
