The effect of "open access" on citation impact: An analysis of ArXiv's condensed matter section
@article{Moed2007TheEO, title={The effect of "open access" on citation impact: An analysis of ArXiv's condensed matter section}, author={Henk F. Moed}, journal={J. Assoc. Inf. Sci. Technol.}, year={2007}, volume={58}, pages={2047-2054} }
This article statistically analyses how the citatio n impact of articles deposited in the Condensed Matter section of the preprint server ArX iv (hosted by Cornell University), and subsequently published in a scientific journal, compares to that of articles in the same journal that were not deposited in that archive. Its principal aim is to further illustrate and roughly estimate the effect of two factors, ‘early view’ and ‘quality bias’, upon differences in citation impact between these two se…

It is shown that prior estimates of the effect of journal reputation on an individual article's impact are likely inflated, and an innovative proxy for individual article quality is presented: the number of citations to preprints posted on arXiv.org.

Does open access citation advantage depend on paper topics?

- 2020
It is concluded that OA authors’ self-selectivity, if it exists at all, is not responsible for the OA citation advantage, at least as far as selection of topics with probably higher citation potentials is concerned.

It is shown that there is always a significant positive correlation between full text availability and the citation count, and both post-print version and publisher’s version of the archived manuscripts of the accepted manuscripts receive more citations than non-OA articles.

The results show that arXiv papers have significant citation advantage across WoS, Scopus and Google Scholar in each year, and it is concluded that unlike citations, information derived from statistics on users, readers and social media needs further exploration.

Does the arXiv lead to higher citations and reduced publisher downloads for mathematics articles?
- PsychologyScientometrics
- 2007
An analysis of 2, 765 articles published in four math journals from 1997 to 2005 indicates that articles deposited in the arXiv received 35% more citations on average than non-deposited articles, and that this difference was most pronounced for highly-cited articles.
The citation advantage of open-access articles
- PsychologyJ. Assoc. Inf. Sci. Technol.

There appears to be a clear citation advantage for those articles that are OA as opposed to those that are TA, but this advantage varies between disciplines, with sociology having the highest citation advantage but the lowest number of OA articles from the sample taken and ecologyHaving the highest individual citation count for OAarticles but the smallest citation advantage.
