Open access article processing charges 2016

Abstract from accompanying documentation article: This article documents Open access article processing charges (OA APC) Main 2016 available for download from the OA APC dataverse, an update and expansion of the preliminary 2015 dataset described in Data [1]. This dataset was gathered as part of Sustaining the Knowledge Commons (SKC), a research program funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The overall goal of SKC is to advance our collective knowledge about how to transition scholarly publishing from a system dependent on subscriptions and purchase to one that is fully open access. The OA APC Main 2016 dataset was developed as one of the lines of research of SKC, a longitudinal study of the minority (about a third) of the fully open access journals that use this business model. Data gathering and analyses will continue on an ongoing basis and will be published annually. We encourage others to share their data as well. In order to merge datasets, note that the two most critical elements for matching data and merging datasets are the journal title and ISSN.

配套文档文章摘要：本文记载了可从OA APC Dataverse下载的2016年版开放获取论文处理费（Open Access Article Processing Charges, OA APC）主数据集，该数据集是对文献[1]中所述2015年初步数据集的更新与扩展。本数据集作为“维持知识共享共同体（Sustaining the Knowledge Commons, SKC）”研究项目的组成部分收集所得，该项目由加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会资助。SKC的总体目标是深化学界关于如何将学术出版从依赖订阅与采购的体系转型为完全开放获取体系的集体认知。2016年版OA APC主数据集是SKC的研究方向之一，该项目针对采用该商业模式的完全开放获取期刊中的小众群体（约占三分之一）开展纵向研究。数据采集与分析工作将持续推进，并将按年度发布更新成果。我们亦鼓励其他研究人员共享其相关数据。如需进行数据集合并，请注意用于匹配数据与合并数据集的两个核心要素为期刊标题与国际标准连续出版物号（International Standard Serial Number, ISSN）。
