Interesting. Medical field dominates research in terms of publications. Chemistry produces double the papers compared to physics, and humanities are smaller than biology but larger than physics. I wonder where machine learning papers fit in - CS or Math or both?
- sgillen 5y agoI would imagine it depends on the particular paper, the more experimental ones in CS, the more theory ones in math. Do note though that most math and ML practitioners use arxiv over sci-hub.
- remuskaos 5y agoIt is note worthy that most of physics (at least high energy physics) ist published on arxiv.org and open access. I don't know if sci hub bothers with publications that are available freely from an official source.
- p1esk 5y agoGood point. If so, this data is a lot less interesting :(
- philipkglass 5y agoSci-hub will grab and serve anything with a DOI (or at least used to; I don't know if they have started ingesting papers again after turning it off a while ago). I have found open access papers there before. It's simpler to just paste the DOI into sci-hub than to check to see if it's one of the few open access articles in a mostly paywalled journal.
- anon_123g987 5y ago> published on arxiv.org and open access Don't use the term "open access" like this. A paper published on arXiv is free to read, and was freely published. "Open access" is a scam by the big publishers, where they don't take money from the readers, but make the authors pay. Or, putting it another way, anyone can pay their way in those journals and publish (sometimes sub par) papers.
- nicoburns 5y agoNo, "open access" means that the paper is available to readers for free. Making the authors pay is typically termed "gold open access".
- mNovak 5y agoI've never heard the term "gold open access", but I know plenty of "open access" journals that charge a fee to authors.
- Lyapunov_Lover 5y agoYeah, I think people are mostly confused here. Open access is a thing when we're talking about peer-reviewed journals. arXiv hosts preprints, meaning they are available before the peer-review process has proceeded. So calling arXiv papers "open access" is misleading, because that label carries the assumption of peer review. And I've never heard of "gold open access" either. Researchers paying to have their papers published is standard, open access or not. That's just how it works. If someone is using the term "gold open access" I'm just going to assume they have no idea how science publishing operates.
- chaosite 5y agoI mean, these terms are defined and widely understood, so, um, no. "gold open access" is where you publish to a peer-reviewed open-access journal, which may or may not involve the author paying for the privilege. "green open access" is where you publish to any peer-reviewed journal, and then the author self-archives the paper somewhere, like an institutional website, arXiv (as a "post-print", not a pre-print), or even Sci-Hub. There are discussions involved about copyright and license and so on, but that's the gist of it.
- remuskaos 5y agoI wasn't aware that there were different distinct forms of "open access", so I had to read it up on Wikipedia. From what I understand, publications on arxiv are either gratis or libre open access. Either way, we don't pay anyone any fee to publish on arxiv.
- The_rationalist 5y agoMachine learning publication rate is small, at least by assuming that paperswithcode contains most of the publications.
