The Swiss Open Access Monitor provides basic indicators for the vision of the Swiss National Strategy on Open Access. According to this vision, all scientific publishing activity in Switzerland should be available in Open Access by 2024. The Monitor collects and visualises data on scientific publications written by scientific staff affiliated with a swissuniversities member.
The Swiss Open Access Monitor was developed within the framework of the National Open Access Monitoring (NOAM) project, led by the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries. The project was half funded by the Open Science programme 2021-2024 and half by the Consortium. A representative task force consisting of members of the Arbeitskreis Open Access (AKOA) expertly advised and accompanied the project.
Major aims of the project:
The website oamonitor.ch is the platform to provide a view of the Open Access shares on scholarly publishing in Switzerland.
The project collects data on the number of publications and the type of Open Access used, but not on costs.
The Swiss Open Access Monitor collects data from two different types of sources:
Journal article data retrieved from the Dimensions database, displayed on the Journal Monitor (OAM-CH) platform. More
