We suggest that the increasing prevalence of OA publications can primarily be attributed to national and institutional guidelines, rather than changes in researcher behavior, although this works in tandem. @isakro.bsky.social @sanderiksen.bsky.social @sveinvn.bsky.social

The findings indicate a growing proportion of OA publications. Archaeological publications are compared with other academic sectors. The study reveals that archaeology is progressing toward OA at a fast rate compared to the broader humanities sector but slower compared to other academic sectors.

We present data on c. 1500 publications by archaeologists at Norwegian universities from 2010-2021, classified according to OA status. We analyze trends in OA publishing during this period and assess how it aligns with official policies and initiatives from lawmakers, funders, and institutions.

Want to learn more about OA publishing in archaeology? Our paper on publishing trends among Norwegian archaeologists is now published. OA publications are increasing, but there’s still a way to go. On the positive side, archaeology is progressing faster than other humanistic disciplines.

The first paper presenting the archaeological context, including the radiocarbon dates, of the Hole runestone is now published in @antiquityj.bsky.social. Great collaboration with @kristelzilmer.bsky.social @kristervasshus.bsky.social @sanderiksen.bsky.social and other colleagues at @uio.no
