Table 2. Meta-regression across journals of log fold-changes for having a preprint.

A positive coefficient means the log fold-change for having a preprint increases as that variable increases (or if articles in that journal are immediately open access). However, coefficients for different variables have different units and are not directly comparable. P-values were adjusted using the Bonferroni-Holm procedure, based on having fit two models. Depending on the two p-values for a given variable, the procedure may have left one p-value unchanged. Regression statistics for the intercept are shown in Supplementary file 12.
