Abstract

• Using data from 2023, this report is the sixth annual update to the “State of Open at the University of Colorado Boulder: A Baseline Analysis of Open Access Practices from 2012 to 2018”: https://doi.org/10.25810/vprn-v113. It includes analyses of open access (OA) article publishing activities, OA repository usage, and data publishing practices by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder). Data used to produce this report can be found here: https://doi.org/10.25810/wzkx-pn69.

  Key findings from this report include:

  75% of articles published in 2023 by CU Boulder authors are available via some type of OA (Gold, Green, Hybrid, or Bronze) (up from 72% in 2022);

  In 2023, the CU Boulder Libraries OA Fund funded author fees totaling $86,928 for 47 journal articles published by CU Boulder authors in full OA journals (up from $69,804 for 41 journal articles in 2022);

  As noted in a new section added this year, the estimated total cost of APCs for all 2023 OA articles with a CU Boulder author is nearly $6.6 million;

  At the end of 2023, there were 17,448 OA items in the CU Scholar institutional repository (up from 16,090 in 2022), and these items were downloaded a total of 36,926 times in 2022 (nearly the same as 36,730 in 2022);

  In the annual Faculty Report of Professional Activities (FRPA), faculty reported 83 published data sets in 2023 (up from 56 in 2022) with 87.95% of these citations including Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) (nearly the same as 87.50% in 2022) and 95.20% of these citations identifying a formal data repository (nearly the same as 95.00% in 2022);

  The Libraries and its partners registered 309 DataCite DOIs for published data sets in 2023 (down from 335 in 2022).
