Open Access Repository Software Use By Country
Based on data from the OpenDOAR Charts service, here is snapshot of the open access repository software that is in use in the top five countries that offer such repositories.
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.
