AI总结:

本文以 OpenAlex 和 DOAJ 为基准,分析 WoS 与 Scopus 对钻石及金色 OA 期刊的收录情况,揭示钻石 OA 本地化特征及高收入国家作者主导现象,为推进包容性 OA 政策提供依据。

摘要:

钻石开放获取(OA)期刊为作者和读者提供了一种双向免费的出版模式,但这些期刊未被主要文献数据库收录,给评估其采用情况带来了挑战。此外,出版语言和出版国家等 OA 特征常被用来支持 OA 期刊更具多样性并以服务本地社区为目标的论点,但目前缺乏与 OA 期刊地理和语言特征相关的实证证据。本文以 OpenAlex 和开放获取期刊目录(Directory of Open Access Journals)为基准,通过 Web of Science 和 Scopus 中的作者覆盖与期刊覆盖,按领域、国家和语言考察钻石 OA 与金色 OA 的收录情况。结果表明,钻石 OA 和金色 OA 在 WoS 与 Scopus 中的收录率较低,且钻石 OA 具有本地化定位。在金色 OA 期刊中,仅使用英语的期刊占比明显更高。除社会科学与人文学科的钻石 OA 期刊外,高收入国家在所有领域和期刊类型中均拥有最高的作者占比。理解钻石 OA 索引的现状有助于学术传播网络推进政策和实践,迈向更具包容性的 OA 模式。

英文摘要:

Diamond open access (OA) journals offer a publishing model that is free for both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic databases presents challenges in assessing the uptake of these journals. Furthermore, OA characteristics such as publication language and country of publication have often been used to support the argument that OA journals are more diverse and aim to serve a local community, but there is a current lack of empirical evidence related to the geographical and linguistic characteristics of OA journals. Using OpenAlex and the Directory of Open Access Journals as a benchmark, this paper investigates the coverage of diamond and gold through authorship and journal coverage in the Web of Science and Scopus by field, country, and language. Results show their lower coverage in WoS and Scopus, and the local scope of diamond OA. The share of English-only journals is considerably higher among gold journals. High-income countries have the highest share of authorship in every domain and type of journal, except for diamond journals in the social sciences and humanities. Understanding the current landscape of diamond OA indexing can aid the scholarly communications network with advancing policy and practices towards more inclusive OA models.
