Accepted applicants to languages and related by region, gender and institution (Source: UCAS). Please see my post on using UCAS data before making any conclusions. In short UCAS data looks at the overall subject preference of applicants which was not necessarily not the course they are on. Joint degrees and major/ minor degrees present difficulties in this regard.

Someone has to pay for research somewhere along the line. In some cases the authors pay a publication fee so that their article can be made open access. In the case of other journals there is no fee—the people who run the journal donate their time freely, or their time is paid for by their employers. Yazikopen contains links to both sorts of open access materials. Most importantly Yazikopen helps the people who will benefit most to access research. It is a sorry state of affairs when teachers cannot access research which would help them to become better teachers and academics, researchers and students are unable to access research available to their peers.
