Open access citation effect illusory
' analysis
Journal articles made freely available online are accessed more than articles with a subscription cost but are not cited more. This is the controversial early finding of what will be a four-year study at Cornell University. The open access (OA) lobby has slammed the publication of the preliminary report as premature.
Past studies have shown that OA literature is cited more than non-OA literature but it has not been clear whether this is due to its free availability or factors such as more popular papers or authors being made OA.
For the Cornell study, 247 articles published in 11 scientific journals were randomly assigned OA or subscription access, and downloads, visitors and citations counted. The OA articles had 89% more full-text downloads, 42% more PDF downloads and 23% more unique visitors, although 24% fewer abstract downloads in the first six months after publication.
Yet OA articles were no more likely to be cited in the first year after publication, with 59% of OA articles cited nine to 12 months after publication compared with 63% of subscription access articles.
