Abstract: The article presents the developed method for the quantitative evaluation of involvement of countries of the world in the international open access movement. It consists in the identification of eight country open access indicators initially connected with the open access initiatives and instruments, their weighing, normalization and aggregation in the form of a weighted average value. In a second more strict approximation the number of indicators has been reduced up to six for the account of discarding the data duplicated in ROAR and Open DOAR. Budapest initiative and Berlin declaration were considered as the ??-initiatives, and data from the international registers DOAJ, SHERPA/RoMEO, ROAR MAP and the Webometrics ??-repositories ranking was considered as the instruments. The calculation is done on the basis of the developed method for 133 countries.
