To engage with everyone, our open source dashboards combine open data from multiple sources as follows:

- Journals included in transformative agreements were obtained from the [cOAlition S Transformative Agreements Public Data](https://journalcheckertool.org/transformative-agreements/) (July 2021, July 2022 and May 2023 snapshots). Agreements with German consortia were derived from [Germany's Open Access Monitor](https://doi.org/10.26165/JUELICH-DATA/VTQXLM) (March 2022). We enriched both journal data sources with ISSN-L, a linking identifier for ISSN variants. Then, we excluded fully open access journals from the cOAlition S Transformative Agreements Public Data by cross-checking with several datasets of fully open access journals: the [Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)](https://doaj.org/), [Bielefeld GOLD OA](https://doi.org/10.4119/unibi/2961544) and [Unpaywall](https://unpaywall.org/).

- [Crossref](https://www.crossref.org/) is our main data source for determining the publication volume in hybrid journals including the uptake of Open Access through Creative Commons licenses. The [ESAC guidelines](https://esac-initiative.org/about/transformative-agreements/reference-guide/), a community recommendation for negotiating transformative agreements, require publishers to make key metadata elements publicly available through Crossref, such as Creative Commons licensing information for Open Access articles. As a [Crossref Metadata Plus subscriber](https://www.crossref.org/services/metadata-retrieval/metadata-plus/), we used monthly Crossref snapshots to derive publication data.
- [OpenAlex](https://openalex.org/) is our data source for determining the country affiliation of lead authors. A [lead author](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_author) is the first named author of a scholarly article who has usually carried out most of the research presented in the article, although author roles can vary across disciplines. We used OpenAlex monthly snaphots as a data source to determine lead author affiliations.
- To highlight potential gaps between Crossref open licensing metadata and information provided via journal webpages, we used [Unpaywall](https://unpaywall.org/) via OpenAlex as a complementary data source for Open Access articles in hybrid journals.

This compiled data is openly available through an R package, [hoaddata](https://subugoe.github.io/hoaddata/). hoaddata contains not only datasets about hybrid open access. It also includes code (mostly SQL) used to compile the data by connecting to [our cloud-based Google Big Query data warehouse](https://subugoe.github.io/scholcomm_analytics/data.html), where we store big scholarly data from Crossref, OpenAlex and Unpaywall. hoaddata is automatically built and updated per month using GitHub Actions, a continuous integration service.
