journalslistedinDOAJasof2010 Data – detailed explanation A list of column headings with explanation can be found in Appendix A. The text of column headings is used in lieu of letters as downstream re-analyzers will likely want to move columns around to facilitate analysis. The “main” data column is called 2019 APC publisher website original currency with a similar title for previous years. This column contains data for every journal sampled, whether by the SKC team or through transfer of data from DOAJ or Crawford. The title of the column reflects the original intent of the project, to focus on APC amounts and trends. However, we have it convenient to always include data for every sampled journal in this column.

Appendix A: Explanation of column headings Note: the base organization of columns reflects a combination of project history and the most common analysis performed, comparison of APC data over the years. For this reason, column order is not intuitive, e.g. data from Solomon & Björk (2012) is split into 2 sections. Prior to analyzing data, downloading and maintaining the orginal spreadsheet but making a copy to facilitate the creation of data subsets and re-ordering of columns. This is why column headings are provided in text rather than column order. To find a column, copy / paste the wording exactly as is and search by row. Columnheading Explanation
