also mit #EBSCOhost und #Proquest machen e-Books überhaupt keinen Spaß, von #torrossa #casalini ganz zu schweigen. Die UX ist furchtbar und die Einschränkungen in der Nutzung der Medien torpedieren die üblichen Workflows. Da bedaure ich fast, dass die Bücher nur digital lizenziert werden und man die Bücher nicht auch physisch aus der Bibliothek holen kann.

How many academic journals are there? Don't look for the answer in Web of Science or Scopus. For a better start see this new study.

From Table 3. Journals listed by different sources:

EBSCOHost = 17,874
WoS = 24,510
Scopus = 41,957
Dimensions = 72,990
OpenAlex = 124,073

But all of these are incomplete. The authors use Open Journal Systems data to show that OJS journals are omitted from each source.

Recalibrating the Scope of Scholarly Publishing: A Modest Step in a Vast Decolonization Process

Abstract. By analyzing 25,671 journals largely absent from common journal counts, as well as Web of Science and Scopus, this study demonstrates that scholarly communication is more of a global endeavor than is commonly credited. These journals, employing the open source publishing platform Open Journal Systems (OJS), have published 5.8 million items; they are in 136 countries, with 79.9% in the Global South and 84.2% following the OA diamond model (charging neither reader nor author). A substantial proportion of journals operate in more than one language (48.3%), with research published in a total of 60 languages (led by English, Indonesian, Spanish, and Portuguese). The journals are distributed across the social sciences (45.9%), STEM (40.3%), and the humanities (13.8%). For all their geographic, linguistic, and disciplinary diversity, 1.2% are indexed in the Web of Science and 5.7% in Scopus. On the other hand, 1.0% are found in Cabells Predatory Reports, while 1.4% show up in Beall’s questionable list. This paper seeks to both contribute and historically situate expanded scale and diversity of scholarly publishing in the hope that this recognition may assist humankind in taking full advantage of what is increasingly a global research enterprise.Peer Review. https://publons.com/publon/10.1162/qss_a_00228
