*1.* To make this OA journal heatmap more informative, it should be
compared with the heatmap of the number of *subscription journals* from
each of these countries.

*2*, Then (to help the eye and brain) a heatmap of the *ratio* of OA to
nonOA journals.

*3*. That will give an idea of the OA journal situation worldwide (i.e.,
Gold OA)  (though of course it will not be controlled for journal *quality*
or *age*: the spam journals <http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/> will be in
there too).

*4*. And if the interest is in an OA heatmap rather than just Gold OA
heatmap, it will need to be accompanied by a heatmap of Green OA
self-archiving -- first, perhaps, the very approximate one using Google
Scholar, for all *free online articles.*

*5*. And then *5* controlled for free online articles *per publication
year *

*6*. Then a WoS or SCOPUS heatmap for total articles output per year

*7*. Then the ratio of *5* to *6*.

*8*. Then separating Green articles from Gold articles and controlling for
publication year, country size, etc.

Lots going on in OA, of which the heatmap of OA journals gives only a
minute glimpse...

For a bit more -- likewise only partial glimpses, and already dated, Google
the work of (a) Gargouri et al
<http://scholar.google.ca/scholar?q=gargouri+%22open+access%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5>,
(b) Bjork et al
<http://scholar.google.ca/scholar?q=%28bjork+OR+solomon+OR+laakso%29+%22open+access%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5>,
(c) Eric Archambault
<http://scholar.google.ca/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&q=eric+archambault+%22open+access%22>
and (d) Lee Giles
