OpenDOAR is pleased to announce the release of new statistical graphs for
its database, at
<
http://www.opendoar.org/find.php?format=charts>
http://www.opendoar.org/find.php?format=charts
. There are 16 different charts in all, including:
* Repositories or Repository Organisations by Continent or Country
* Usage of Open Access Repository Software Platforms
* Open Access Repository Types
* Repository Operational Statuses
* Most Frequent Content Types
* Most Frequent Languages
* OpenDOAR Subjects
* Grades for Metadata Re-use policies, [Full Text] Data Re-use
policies, etc.
* Growth of the OpenDOAR Database
By default the charts cover the full OpenDOAR database. However, as the
graphs are an add-on to the existing 'Find' page, you have the option to
view results as charts whatever search you do. For instance you could use
the country filter to see how the "United States" and "Europe" compare. Or
you could see how usage of GNU EPrints differs from DSpace and Bepress.
...And much more.
We hope the charts will be useful for advocacy purposes. We are therefore
happy for people to include the charts in their own websites, and we
provide the necessary HTML source code. The charts are dynamic, so you
always see the latest data.
