As mentioned previously Open Knowledge are project partners on the PASTEUR4OA Project. To compliment our briefing paper work we will be creating a series of Data Visualisations that will be available online and a series of infographics that can be used in advocacy materials. These visualisations will build on data from ROARMAP – a registry of OA policies.

I am no expert in data visualisation and am very much learning as I go along. I hope to share my experiences in creating the visualisations later down the line. Today I have been working with Tableau Public and have produced a number of different visualisations. With APCs in mind (you may have seen the APC timeline we have been collating) here is an attempt at a visualisation of Open Access Policies (by country) that offer some form of APC grant.

Any feedback welcome – I’m still learning so please be gentle!
