@christof good and important point, and thanks for the glimpse into the numbers! I think it would help your case and #OpenAccess arguments in general, if these access statistics were included prominently in the #IJDH journal site.

Springer's own page e.g. at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42803-023-00068-9/metrics does not show much, only the page views of the abstract and its re-use in social media posts, if I understand correctly, but not the # of downloads.

It's been cool to be part of the #IJDH issue on #reproducibility and #explainability.

But my reservations regarding the publishing model are being confirmed:

There is a clear relationship between access modality and number of accesses (see barchart). The #openaccess articles (paid via individual APC or read and publish agreement) have many more accesses per month than the #closed access articles (no payment required), so far.

Open access advantage 😃
Rich country advantage 😟

Not quite there, but getting there! The first bunch of articles of the #IJDH special issue "Reproducibility and Explainability in Digital Humanities" are published online. Check them out while they are fresh! More coming almost daily now! #digitalhumanities

This has been years in the making, since around 2016 (!), and finally the paper has been published in #IJDH: "Repetitive research: a conceptual space and #terminology of #replication, #reproduction, revision, reanalysis, reinvestigation and reuse in digital humanities". See here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s42803-023-00073-y It's part of a collection on #reproducibility and #explainability in #DigitalHumanities: https://link.springer.com/collections/becggdhbad
