The open access team was formed in May 2015 and began collating statistics on its open access activities in June 2015, primarily to monitor deposits to our repository, Spiral, as well as gold open access applications. Our statistical analysis over the 14 months period shows an increase in all open access activities including deposits to Spiral, Open Access applications and downloads from Spiral. We are really pleased with the results, as it highlights the progress the team has made through our advocacy work and it is something to celebrate during International Open Access Week 24th – 30th October 2016.
