Abstract
With many models and platforms available to support open and open access publishing, it is important to understand how this content is being used across the globe and to have assurances that the models and access to the content are sustainable for the future. This paper will look at usage data for multiple content types that have been published as open on the JSTOR platform and made available to users across the globe. It will also discuss existing models to support the publishing of open content and how the understanding of data can support future publishing.
