Comment: Small typo (I think) in the header of the bottom section of Table 6 which now repeats "(number of journals)" but where it should say "(percentage)", like in the table before it? Great work! About the XML, I was already discussing with my publisher editor to make the XML available last autumn, and that was before the Plan S suggestion (for the [https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/]Journal of Cheminformatics). I pinged him again and discuss this Plan S item, see https://github.com/jcheminform/jcheminform/issues/3 You can also use that forum to ask about the number of articles published last year, for which had a field in your spreadsheet, if that would help your overview.

Comment: I have few question. Why the author only choose DOAJ? What about the other database.
Usually small journal are indexed with DOAJ so the results will be most likely in a predicted way.
Secondly, there is a suggestion to include geographic data (geodata and geoinformation) as well which will gives you more clear picture
This is an interesting article and the recommendation are reasonable.

Comment: I am not sure what you refer to with the term "the other database"?

For us, using DOAJ was the obvious choice - we knew the data (to some extent) and DOAJ registration is a Plan S requirement.

Country of publishing and language(s) of publishing are part of the metadata. There are numerous analyses that could be performed using these data, we have chosen to do only a few - but the data we have used will be made publicly available for others to perform more analysis.
