Thanks to a file supplied by DOAJ community manager Dominic Mitchell, we can confirm that 64% or about two-thirds of the journals added to DOAJ since March 2014 do not have article processing charges (720 No charges, 403 Yes charges, total 1,123). Although there may be differences between this sub-sample and journals entered in DOAJ before March 2014, this ratio is similar to what we reported earlier and others have been reporting for some time.
The text file supplied by DOAJ has been added to the OA APC dataverse: http://dataverse.scholarsportal.info/dvn/dv/oaapc If anyone would like to transform the text file into .csv or other spreadsheet-manipulable file, that would be helpful. For example, this kind of processing would make it possible to provide a much more human readable title list.
