An analysis of publication data for 2009 identifies a total 5263 Wellcome–attribured articles in PubMed, of which 2313 are freely available in UKPMC. This indicates an overall open access compliance figure of around 44%.
Looking at the data more granularly, we can also see which journals are most used by Wellcome-funded authors.
In total, some 1113 journals published Wellcome-funded research in 2009 — from Acta Crystallographica through to Zoones and Public Health — with the top 10 titles (in terms of total number of articles published) publishing some 14% (733 articles) of the total “Wellcome research output”.
