| Abstract: |
This study examines the open access (OA) component in EBSCO's Academic Search Complete (ASC) in 2024. Two sets of samples from all the 3,481 peer-reviewed non-embargoed full-text journals in ASC were examined. One set is 10% random samples, and the other set is journals from major publishers excluding gold OA publishers. Both sets have similar results that over 70% are OA journals. The findings may have impact on library's collection development, reference and instruction services, or even the way to negotiate the price of aggregator databases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
