随着开放获取任务的数量不断增加，对开放获取出版的准确衡量是一个重要的政策问题。现有研究估计开放存取出版物的流行率从27.9%到53.7%不等，这取决于数据来源和调查时期。本文旨在比较Web of Science(WOS)和Dimensions这两个主要的文献计量学数据库中开放存取出版的比例，并评估数据库的选择如何影响不同国家的开放存取测量。结果表明，在按维度索引的出版物中，开放式出版物的比例高于按WOS索引的出版物，尤其是来自北美和欧洲以外的出版物。论文最后讨论了这些差异的原因和后果，促使在审查开放式获取时使用更具包容性的数据库，特别是对于源自北美和欧洲以外的出版物。
With the growing number of open access (OA) mandates, the accurate measurement of OA publishing is an important policy issue. Existing studies have provided estimates of the prevalence of OA publications ranging from 27.9% to 53.7%, depending on the data source and period of investigation. This paper aims at providing a comparison of the proportion of OA publishing as represented in two major bibliometric databases, Web of Science (WoS) and Dimensions, and assesses how the choice of database affects the measurement of OA across different countries. Results show that a higher proportion of publications indexed in Dimensions are OA than those indexed by WoS, and that this is particularly true for publications originating from outside North America and Europe. The paper concludes with a discussion of the cause and consequences of these differences, motivating the use of more inclusive databases when examining OA, especially for publications originating beyond North America and Europe.
