Thed N. van Leeuwen et al. have published (Early View article) "Exploring Possibilities to Use Bibliometric Data to Monitor Gold Open Access Publishing at the National Level" in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology.
Here's an excerpt:
This article1 describes the possibilities to analyze open access (OA) publishing in the Netherlands in an international comparative way . . . We conducted a bibliometric baseline measurement to assess the current situation, to be able to measure developments over time. . . . The analysis presented in this article focuses on the various ways OA can be defined using the Web of Science, limiting the analysis mainly to Gold OA. From the data we collected we can conclude that the way OA is currently registered in various electronic bibliographic databases is quite unclear, and various methods applied deliver results that are different, although the impact scores derived from the data point in the same direction.
