Comparing the Impact of Open Access (OA) vs. Non-OA Articles in the Same Journals

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: The way to test the impact advantage of Open Access (OA) is not to compare the citation impact factors of OA and non-OA journals but to compare the citation counts of individual OA and non-OA articles appearing in the same (non-OA) journals. Such ongoing comparisons are revealing dramatic citation advantages for OA.
