STM Association, in partnership with its member publishers, has released an inaugural STM OA Progress Report. This highlight-focused report is a companion to the newly launched STM OA Dashboard, a dynamic resource for exploring in-depth figures pertaining to OA uptake by research discipline, funder, region — and model. A key takeaway from this 2023 edition —35% of all articles published were via Gold OA, continuing an upward trend toward Open Access. 

This report, which offers a snapshot of data and trends, looking beyond OA uptake to include research integrity and social responsibility, sets a benchmark for annual updates to chart ongoing developments in Open Access.

The report is freely available for download.
