In your post you said "the number of OA active users has risen by 46% to 2,441 but still represents only 15% of the total membership of that community", which total membership community do you mean? Do you mean the entire Computer Science discipline of Mendeley? I calculated that if 15 % = 2441 then the community has a total of 16273 members. In your post "Mendeley: Download vs Upload Growth" it says there were 74736 members in the Computer Science discipline at that time. Could you clarify?

(I assume it's the ratio to all members, not just "active" members?)<br /><br />(2) How is the discipline distribution? (Are these results mostly coming from some disciplines and not others?)<br /><br />It's hard to know how to interpret these results, from an OA point of view without a breakdown by year and discipline, expressed in terms of the ratio of OA papers to total papers for each year/discipline.<br /><br />StevanStevan Harnadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374474060972737847noreply@blogger.com
