2. 29% of articles published in 2014 are now
available as full text or #openacess http://europepmc.org/search?query=%28FIRST_PDATE:%5B2014-01-01+TO+2014-12-31%5D%29&page=1

This compares to less than 7% in 2001. In particular the
open access subset (which as well as being free to read, is free of some
copyright and licensing restrictions) has grown enormously: from less than 1%
of articles published in 2001 to over 19% published in 2014.

Europe PMC is effectively a green and gold repository in
that both routes to open access are supported for full text content to get into
Europe PMC. Most comes via the publisher (‘gold’) route to PMC from where it is
mirrored to Europe PMC. The repositories also have their own manuscript
submission systems, which enable authors to use the ‘green’ route and archive
their articles directly, if the work was funded by one of our funders. Any
content generated via this route is mirrored back to PMC and vice versa.
