(Updated) Historical APC data from before the April upgrade

UPDATED: 25th May 2016
We have now broken out the APC facet on the web site to show 3 categories:

No information: journals for which we have received a reapplication which has yet to be processed. This is the majority of the journals in DOAJ. As we process these reapplications and accept them, this figure will go down over time. We have the APC information in the Admin system; the records just need to be reviewed. For every reapplication accepted, one will drop from the ‘No information’ total and be added to the Yes or No total. For every reapplication rejected, one will drop from the ‘No information’ total only.

No: these journals have submitted updated APC information to us and DO NOT charge APCs

Yes: these journals have submitted updated APC information to us and DO charge APCs.

The numbers in the text below are now historical but were true as of the site upgrade in April 2015.

In my post the other day, I promised to provide the APC information from the old site. Here it is as of today (11th May 2015):

APC?   Number of journals

N             6283 (67.6%)
Y             2999 (32.3%)
No info         9 (0.1%)
TOTAL   9291

Today there are 10,508 journals in DOAJ which leaves  1217 journals unaccounted for in the old APC data above. These are all journals that have been accepted into DOAJ under the new criteria. (We have accepted 1217 journals into DOAJ since March 2014.) We know from the new data that 364 of them do have APCs. Therefore 853 journals have NO APCs. Then we can work out the following TOTALS for ALL journals in DOAJ:

APC?   Number of journals

N             7136 (67.9%)
Y             3363 (32%)
No info        9 (0.1%)
TOTAL  10,508

This also means that the APC facet on the new site should display:

APC?   Number of journals

N             853 (8.1%)
Y             364 (3.5%)
No info  9291 (88.4%)
TOTAL  10,508

88.4% of all the journals in DOAJ have yet to reapply.
