I've added a section on Open access by the numbers to the Wikipedia article on OA. At first I thought I'd keep this list on my page of lists. But while I knew I could start the list, I also knew I wouldn't have time to flesh it out or keep it up to date. Wikipedia was the perfect solution. The numbers on the list now are just a small sample of what we can eventually provide.
Please help enlarge the list and keep it current. If you need numbers for articles, presentations, or policy decisions, consult the list. If you don't know whether the numbers are up to date on the day you visit, then you can verify (and update) them by following the links on the page. I'm hoping this leads to an era of better-informed debate, journalism, and policy-making.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
