The OAPEN Library platform logs usage data, starting from January 2011. Among the data logged is the number of times each monograph was downloaded in a month. We will use this as an indicator of successful dissemination: more downloads means a better result. For this paper, we will use the data captured over a period of 33 months: from January 2011 up until September 2013. During this time, 1734 different books were made available through the OAPEN Library. Of these monographs, 855 were disseminated under a Creative Commons license – in other words: libre OA – and 879 were distributed under a more restrictive regime.</p><p>File list:<br>- OAPEN_license_downloads.csv: data<br>- Explanation of variables urn-nbn-nl-ui-13-8ut1-25.pdf: list of variables used in the data<br>- oapen.excel-20140123: list of books mentioned in variable OAPEN-ID<br>- R.
