I would be thankful for some clarification. Why is the 55% figure (3897) of
journals which allow self archving based on a number of 7135 journals rather
than 24000 (the total number of journals)?

Isnt it a bit misleading to state that 55% of the journals allow either
pre- or post print self archving when the actual number is closer to 15%
(24000/3897)? (irrespective of whether one believes that publisher's
consent to self archiving is necessary or not)
