Data for the above chart is available for download: OASPA Members CC-BY Growth_Data to 2013

A total of 399,854 articles were published with the CC-BY license by members of OASPA during the period shown above, with 120,972 of those being published in 2013 alone. These numbers only include articles that were published in journals whose entire content is Open Access, so articles that were published in hybrid OA journals are not included.

BioMed Central (2000-2013) SpringerOpen (2011-2013), Hindawi (2006-2013), PLOS (2003-2013), Frontiers (2012-2013), Leibniz-Institute for Psychology Information/ZPID (2012-2013), American Institue of Physics (2011-2013), MDPI (2008-2013), ecancermedicalscience (2007-2013), AOSIS (2012-2013), eLife (2012-2013), SSPP (2005-2013), PeerJ (2013 only), Ubiquity Press (2011-2013), Copernicus (2007-2013), JMIR Publications (2000-2013), OUP (2013 only) and Igitur (2009-2013).
