Wellcome has been a leader in adopting, measuring, and enforcing Open Access policies for many years. They’re working with OA.Report to reduce the workload and number of tools they require. Some specific areas OA.Report will be supporting them with include:
- Analysing their article processing charges (APC) spending from the block grant funding given to dozens of institutions.
- Identifying original research articles covered by their policy from other content such as reviews, editorials, correspondence, and other types of content.
- Getting data from important venues such as Europe PMC
- Taking into account exceptions granted to their policy
- Reporting on progress towards their policy
