Disappointing results from @cOAlitionS_OA. Most transformative journals failed to meet their own Open Access targets. Only 1% of titles became fully Open Access in 2022. Fewer than a third met or exceeded their targets. The move to fully open science is overdue. #OpenAccess
Check out @robertkiley's analysis of the #TransformativeJournal (TJ) program for 2022. How did publishers fare in transitioning to full #OpenAccess?🤔 Results: 1% of TJs flipped to OA, 30% met their targets, 68% missed their targets & will be removed. ✍️coalition-s.org/blog/transfo…
