Thanks Heather, very interesting stats. I will add to this that Paperity
<http://paperity.org/>, a multidisciplinary aggregator of open access
journals and papers, a few days ago passed 1 million article milestone:
https://blog.paperity.org/2016/09/16/paperity-hits-1-million-paper-milestone/
Moreover, just yesterday Paperity released a powerful Advanced Search
feature, which supports many types of constraints (search by keyword,
journal, ISSN, DOI, language, date, geographical location, article
length, author affiliations), provides faceting and, importantly,
generates RSS/Atom feeds on arbitrary search queries, making it possible
to follow new publications on a given narrow subject, or follow new
articles in a given journal ("ToC feeds") etc.:
http://paperity.org/advanced_search/
For example, here is a list of papers containing "open access" in either
the title or the abstract:
Papers about "open access"
<http://paperity.org/search/?q=title%3A%28%22open+access%22%29+OR+abstract%3A%28%22open+access%22%29>
And here is the corresponding RSS/Atom feed that can be added to any
RSS/Atom reader (like Feedly <http://feedly.com/>) and used to track new
papers that discuss open access:
RSS/Atom feed on "open access"
<http://paperity.org/rss/?q=title%3A%28%22open+access%22%29+OR+abstract%3A%28%22open+access%22%29>
Best, -M

The third quarter Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available. There will
be plenty to celebrate for this year’s open access week!
Highlights:
Globally OA repository contents have exceeded a milestone of over 100 million
documents as indirectly measured by a BASE meta-search. This dispersed
collection is now an order of magnitude larger than Science Direct!
Despite a vigorous weeding and new get-tough inclusion policy, DOAJ articles
searchable at article level grew by about a quarter million this past year, and
DOAJ is now adding titles at the rate of 1.5 per day. OpenDOAR added new
repositories at almost exactly the same rate as DOAJ added journal titles.
Internet Archive now has over 3 million audio recordings. There are over 2,000
more OA books and 161 more publishers in DOAB than there were a year ago.
PubMedCentral continues to show strong growth in every measure: more journals
actively participating, more providing immediate free access, all articles open
access, some articles open access.
