*The indicator is calculated yearly in Q1. It is calculated on the basis of publications published two years earlier.
This in order to credit publications with a 12 months Open Access embargo published late in a given publication year.
The national strategy of 2018 aims at 100 % Open Access in 2025 – based on two efforts:
1) The establishment of OA rights to all publications. 2) The full use of these OA rights.
Thus Realised OA should rise to 100 %, and Unused and Blocked OA should fall to 0 %.
Blocked: Publications that are blocked from becoming Open Access due to publisher policies
Unused: Publications with unused Open Access rights
Realised: Publications with realised Open Access
