Between <\/span>2014 and 2024<\/span>, the\u202f<\/span>percentage share of global articles, reviews and conference papers made available via gold has increased by 26%, from 14% to 40%<\/span><\/b>.\u202fIn contrast, the percentage share of journal articles, reviews, and conference papers available to read via subscription-only fell by 26% from 70% (2014) to 54% (2024).<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for all articles, reviews, and conference papers from 2014 to 2024 is 4% and the number of these has more than doubled, increasing by 53% over the decade.\u202f<\/span>Gold OA publications have seen rapid growth with a CAGR of 16%<\/span><\/b>\u202fover the period, with the number of gold articles quadrupling over the period. Subscription-only articles have a CAGR of 2% and the number of articles of this access type has increased by 18% over the period. The growth in article share for subscription-only articles in 2024 is likely attributable to the growing global output from countries and regions, such as China and India<\/a>, where uptake of OA is relatively low.\u00a0 There has also been a reduced output from OA-only publishers in recent years.<\/span>1<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n

The rate of both green and bronze OA type article publication has receded over the period.\u00a0 The number of green OA articles, reviews and conference papers reduced by 28% and bronze by 54% since 2014.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
