No full textThis piece provides documentation on the dataset DOAJ 2021 plus, developed for the article Open access journals & article processing charges 2011 – 2021. This is a rich metadata set, with a primary focus on article processing charges (APC) data that also includes a great deal of other data that could be useful for other researchers interested in studying trends in open access journals.
The base data is a DOAJ metadata set downloaded on Jan. 5, 2021, with light clean-up to ensure data is in the correct columns, standardize publisher names to the extent it was possible to do so, and remove most URLs that would be primarily useful to DOAJ staff in the process of verifying journals for inclusion.
Explanation of column headings, codes and data from other sources included is provided below as well as links to the data documentation of each of these sources.

Open access article processing charges 2016
No full textAbstract from accompanying documentation article:
This article documents Open access article processing charges (OA APC) Main 2016 available for download from the OA APC dataverse, an update and expansion of the preliminary 2015 dataset described in Data [1]. This dataset was gathered as part of Sustaining the Knowledge Commons (SKC), a research program funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The overall goal of SKC is to advance our collective knowledge about how to transition scholarly publishing from a system dependent on subscriptions and purchase to one that is fully open access. The OA APC Main 2016 dataset was developed as one of the lines of research of SKC, a longitudinal study of the minority (about a third) of the fully open access journals that use this business model. Data gathering and analyses will continue on an ongoing basis and will be published annually. We encourage others to share their data as well. In order to merge datasets, note that the two most critical elements for matching data and merging datasets are the journal title and ISSN
