On the website a [list](https://amt.coretrustseal.org/certificates/) is maintained with all the data sources that the seal has been assigned to.

 The availability of preprint repositories **may** correlate with specific fields of study, given that certain scientific disciplines are more inclined to use preprints than others. Furthermore, regional or national open science policies, funding opportunities, and research culture can also influence the presence or absence of preprint repositories in a particular country or region.

 Once we know the Open Access status of each publication, we can easily calculate the percentage, simply as the number of publications out of the total that are Open Access. Additionally, we can do this for each separate Open Access type. We could for example refer to the % Green OA or % Gold OA. Note that percentages may not add up to 100%, but the total may also even exceed 100%, because publications can have both a Green Open Access status and another Open Access status. For that reason, you should not report percentages of Open Access statuses in a cumulative fashion (e.g. not in a stacked bar chart), in particular not when reporting on Green Open Access.

 As already clarified, citations are affected in general by field and publication year, and these are quite clearly causal effects. There are many other factors that correlate with citations [@onodera2015], for which most it is unclear whether the effect is causal. One factor that is consistently associated with more citations is collaboration [@larivière2015], which is potentially driven by network effects [@schulz]. In addition, there is evidence for a clear causal effect of the journal where something is published on citations [@traag2021].

 The academic field is characterized by certain set of subnorms that define a specific scientific ethos. Without settling immense debate of defining those norms, it is important to note that this specific ethos has implications for how diversity functions in and on science. Complying to the scientific ethos, in order to be able to “play the game of science” requires specific socio-economic conditions such as stable income, decent housing, access to higher education etc. that enable individuals to acquire the set of scientific skills needed to produce scientifically valid statements, that is to say peer recognized and compliant to scientific discursive norms.

 Besides the PISA instrument, there is a great variety of other instruments used to assess scientific literacy, commonly aligned with vision II and the PISA conceptualization. In general, the focus seems to have shifted from viewing scientific literacy as one single ability to defining it as a multidimensional construct. Most of the instruments' contents focus on a specific domain or context (e.g., biology), employing various formats to test skills. The majority of instruments have been developed for use in (secondary school) students and have mainly been employed in that context [@coppi2023; @opitz2017].
 
 A relatively recent and broadly used instrument is the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS), developed to be a comprehensive and psychometrically sound measure that can be employed on a large scale. The TOSLS includes 28 multiple-choice questions presented through realistic scenarios and requiring respondents to use skills that relate to understanding scientific methods and interpreting data [@gormally2012]. The instrument is available as the supplement to @gormally2012.
