“…In Appendix, the countries are ranked in I OA (2019) and it shows that the number of the countries participating in the international Open Access movement increased from 133 in 2017 (Moskovkin et al, 2018) to about 170 in 2019.…”

“…Based on Formula (1), we calculated the index for reflecting the degree of countries' involvement in the OA-movement (I ОА ) in 2019. Also for a comparable analysis, we calculated the same index for 2017, taking into account the number of OA-repositories listed in Open DOAR rather than the number of OA-repositories ranked in Webometrics (Moskovkin et al, 2018). The results of this calculation are shown in the Appendix, in which there is also information for each country concerning a total of all the nine indicators (N), normalized to the maximum value for the entire sample of the countries, which is in this case equal to the United States' indicator (N ′ = N/N max ).…”

“…To make the values of dissimilar indicators comparable and varied in the range from 0 to 1, we used the normalization procedure, which consisted in dividing the values of these indicators by the maximum number in the sample. All this allowed us to write the integral indicator (or index) of countries' involvement in the international Open Access movement in the following form (Moskovkin et al, 2018):…”

The study aims are to conduct a systematic quantitative analysis of Open Access (OA) Instruments and Initiatives, justify and develop the methodology for calculating the index of countries' involvement in the Open Access movement. The authors identified all the significant OA-Instruments and OA-Initiatives, which were counted on the basis of the records in their OA-registers. Consolidation of records in these registers, according to literature data from the moment of their launch, made it possible to identify important patterns and features of the evolution of the OA-movement. The proposed methodology when applied to all countries of the world as of 2017 and 2019 allowed the authors to rank and classify them according to a degree of their involvement in the OAmovement. The article affirms that the proposed methodology in the context of regular comparative analysis of the benchmarking tables with setting the target integral indicators for the lagging countries is very convenient for the development of Global or Regional OA-Strategies. So the authors define the concept of the International or Regional OA-movement Scoreboard, underlying the development of these strategies.
