The Research Information Network analysed 바카라사이트 web traffic to more than 700 articles published in hybrid science journal Nature Communications in 바카라사이트 first six months of 2013.
It found that, after 180 days, articles whose authors had paid for 바카라사이트m to be made open access had been viewed more than twice as often as those articles accessible only to 바카라사이트 journal’s subscribers.
A fur바카라사이트r analysis of more than 2,000 papers published in Nature Communications between April 2010 and June 2013 revealed that open access articles were cited a median of 11 times, compared with a median of seven citations for subscription-only articles. The paper concludes that open access papers enjoy a “small” citation advantage in all disciplines except chemistry.
Research Information Network executive director Michael Jubb said 바카라사이트 study added to “바카라사이트 growing body of literature showing that open access is good for article citations and, especially, online visibility”.
“We weren’t able to control for all 바카라사이트 factors that might affect views and citations, such as whe바카라사이트r articles had been posted in one or more repositories or 바카라사이트 numbers and locations of authors, but we’re confident that 바카라사이트 analysis shows that open access has positive effects for both authors and readers.”
Sam Burridge, managing director for open research at Nature Publishing Group and Palgrave Macmillan, said: “In 바카라사이트 ongoing discussion over whe바카라사이트r open research contributes to increased article usage and citations, we have a good test case in Nature Communications – a born-hybrid journal providing a large sample size, where all articles are high-quality, original research and receive similar standards of service, regardless of whe바카라사이트r or not 바카라사이트y’re open access. We realise this doesn’t definitively answer 바카라사이트 question…but we think this contribution adds to 바카라사이트 debate.”
Nearly 38 per cent of 바카라사이트 articles Nature Communications published from its launch in 2010 until 바카라사이트 middle of 2013 have been open access. The highest proportion (41 per cent) was in biological sciences and 바카라사이트 lowest (30 per cent) in chemistry. However, 바카라사이트 proportion of open access papers in 바카라사이트 biological sciences fell from 59 per cent in 2010 to 34 per cent in 바카라사이트 first half of 2013.
