Abstract
ABSTRACT This study focused on analyzing funded scientific publications by Israeli researchers from 2010 to 2020 in open access (OA). Based on the bibliometric investigation using the Scopus database, it was observed that the proportion of funded publications in OA increased over the years. Moreover, the number of funded publications in OA was significantly higher than those published in closed access. However, it is noteworthy that the number of publications receiving funding from funders with an explicit OA policy and published in OA was higher than those funded by entities without such policies. These findings suggest that while funding positively impacts OA publishing, the presence of OA policies has a more decisive influence on researchers' choices to publish in OA.
