<p>This dataset contains details of the 2015-2016 Charity Open
Access Fund (COAF) open access spend. During this period the members of COAF
were Wellcome Trust, Arthritis Research UK, Breast Cancer Now, British Heart
Foundation, Bloodwise, Cancer Research UK and Parkinson’s UK. In addition to
reporting spend, the data has been analysed through our “compliance monitoring”
tool (developed for us by Cottage Labs) to help us determine programmatically
whether the paper is in the Europe PMC repository and what licence (if any) is
attached to the article.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The dataset includes information when an article processing
charge (APC) was levied to the COAF fund. If an author has self-archived
a paper, this information is not included in this dataset. Equally, data are
not included in cases where a researcher (based at an institution not in
receipt of a COAF block grant) received a supplement to their grant to cover OA
publishing costs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We hope that this data will be of use to help better
understand the cost of OA publishing.</p>
<p> </p>
If through use of this data you identify errors
or believe the status of an article to be incorrect please notify Hannah Hope
(h.hope[at]welcome.ac.uk). We will endeavour to investigate these issues and
correct errors where identified. Corrections to the dataset will be published
as a new version of the dataset along with note explaining the changes.
