Openness in the DABAR system
In the Dabar system, 47% of objects are currently in open access, 40% in institutional access, 12% of works are closed, and about 1% of objects are available after the embargo has expired or only with authorized access.
The objects in open access with regard to the year of creation are in continuous growth. In 2016, there were 46% of objects in open access, in 2017 there were 47%, in 2018 there were 48%, in 2019 there were 47 %, in 2020 they were 51%, while in 2021 the open access increased to 61%.
In open access, graded works (43%), images (34%), audio-visual materials (14%) and graded artistic works (14%) are represented to a lesser extent. Slightly more than half of dissertations, contributions and book chapters (54-58%) are openly available. Educational contents (71%), books (78%), data sets and audio materials (88%) are in open access. More than 90% of papers in magazines, presentations, papers in proceedings, virtual collections and other types of documents are in open access.
Once again, we congratulate all repositories, their owners, editors, responsible persons, authors, students and leaders who encourage the publication of objects in open access through their work and activities.
