Abstract： [Purposes] The development of global open publishing is analyzed to provide decision-making basis for management personnel at all levels.
[Methods] Based on SCIE data and website information of each OA journal, statistical analysis was conducted on the global publication of OA journals, author publications, and APC reasonableness, as well as the OA publications and APC expenditures of authors in China.
[Findings] In 2022, 7,759 global OA journals were indexed in SCIE, an increase of 15% compared to 2021. APC reasonable journals account for 66%. The global OA publication volume has increased by 6%, with Chinese authors accounting for 29% of the total OA publication volume. Chinese authors have published 269,800 articles in 4,936 OA journals, with an APC expenditure of approximately RMB 4.3 billion yuan, an increase of 44% and 43% respectively compared to 2021. The National Natural Science Foundation of China is the main fund supporting Chinese authors to publish OA papers, with an annual APC expenditure increase of 33%.
[Conclusions] OA publishing has become the mainstream of global publishing, and China's OA publication volume and APC expenditure have both grown rapidly, tending towards international full-OA journals with low APC and high publication volume. In China, the construction of Sci-Tech journals market and the performance management of research fund need to be promoted in time to adapt to the development of open access.
