Recently, @cbroschinski has added checks for the open access status of articles in hybrid journals (see e.g. #229). Warnings for articles that are not open access can result from different reasons:

  • institutions providing wrong data to the Open APC iniative (directly or via Wellcome Trust, etc.) - e.g. when including non-OA publishing fees (page charges) in the dataset or when providing the wrong DOI
  • publisher has not made the article open access
  • article has some weird configuration on publisher's website resulting in the crawler warning about non-OA status

These issues can be (and will be) fixed over time, so for transparency and for preserving the results I suggest

a) to include a logging function in the hybrid check script
b) to archive/versionize the output of the script

a) has already been adressed, error messages are collected during the lookup process and summarized after finishing.
b) sounds like a good idea. Will start building that list after we got a reply from the affected institutions mentioned in our blog post

Hi Christoph, thanks!

a) I was more thinking of a timestamped log file ;)
b) having the raw log files might also be a good think to discover and follow up with changes over time
