Every month Samuel Pearce, one of the CORE developers, collects the CORE statistics – perhaps a boring task, but useful for us to know where we stand as a service. A very brief report of the accumulative statistics of all years that CORE operates as a project, 2011 – 2015, are as follows.
Users can retrieve from CORE,
- 25,363,829 metadata records and
- 2,954,141 open access full-text records,
from 689 repositories (institutional and subject) and 5,488 open access journals. In addition, 122 users have access to the CORE API.
In the playful Christmas spirit we attempted this time to have some fun with the statistics.
