Cross-comparison with my attempt

Hi @njahn82

really interesting code & results. It seems to differ quite a bit from the conclusions I drew here:
https://github.com/rossmounce/opening-up-citations

Maybe I should re-run my code? But surely that much can't have changed since I did it (2018-03-26). Maybe I made an error somewhere?

Perhaps we should clarify what our exact units of measure here are. I am looking at and counting CrossRef Member IDs (these are analagous to but not quite 1:1 with 'publishers').

When doing my analysis, in terms of CR Member IDs I found only 363 with "open" citations.
In this Wikimedia blog post 490 "publishers" are quoted as participating: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/04/02/initiative-for-open-citations-birthday/

Your code seems to reach the conclusion that it is 1,062 publishers participating with open citations?

What is the explanation for these wildly different answers all produced/published within days of each other! 😃
