Open Access Repository Software Use By Country

The countries are abbreviated in the table header column as follows: US = United States, DK = Germany, UK = United Kingdom, AU = Australia, and NL = Netherlands. The number in parentheses is the reported number of repositories in that country.
Read the country percentages downward in each column (they do not total to 100% across the rows).
Excluding "unknown" or "other" systems, the highest in-country percentage is shown in boldface.

This is an interesting table. However may I suggest one minor change. The ISO standard 2-letter code for Germany is DE not DK. (DK is the code for Denmark). Changing this to DE should avoid any confusion.
