Abstract

This dataset contains details of the 2017-2018 Charity Open Access Fund (COAF) open access spend. During this period the members of COAF were Wellcome Trust, Versus Arthritis, 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. 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. We hope that this data will be of use to help better understand the cost of OA publishing. If through use of this data you identify errors or believe the status of an article to be incorrect please notify Diego Baptista (d.baptista[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 a note explaining the changes.

Stored with the screening record, where it is evidence for the labels above.

stratum: about_only · design weight: 3321.24 (the sample is stratified; any rate computed without the weight is wrong)
Claude Opus 4.8T1
genre: empirical
about Canada: no
confidence: high

Dataset of a funder consortium's open access spend, article processing charges, licences and repository compliance; the object is open access publishing and funder compliance.

GPT-5.6 (high)T1
genre: other
about Canada: no
confidence: high

The dataset studies open-access publishing expenditure and compliance practices.

Grok 4.5T1
genre: other
about Canada: no
confidence: high

Dataset of open-access spend and licence/repository compliance for funded papers; scholarly communication is the object.

Full frame machine prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
