Journal Monitor (OAM-CH)

About the Journal Monitor (OAM-CH)

On this page you find Open Access shares of articles published in scientific journals by authors affiliated to institutions as provided by the Journal Monitor (OAM-CH). You can filter by year, institution or make a variety of comparisons. The graphs provide a sample of the evaluation options available on the Journal Monitor (OAM-CH).

On behalf of the Consortium, Forschungszentrum Jülich has developed a Journal Monitor for Switzerland based on the Open Access Monitor (OAM). More

The collected data distinguishes between the accessibility of the published content based on the established OA typology (Diamond, Gold, Green, Hybrid) and Closed.

This Monitor is based on DOI, restricted to journal articles, and uses OpenAlex as a data source, among others.

The use of data from international publication databases leads to disciplinary and linguistic biases due to the strong focus on science, technology and medicine and the over-representation of scientific articles in English.

To provide an alternative data source, this project conducts an annual national survey among Swiss higher education institutions and research institutes. The collected data and visualisations can be found in the Repository Monitor.
