[Dspace-general] faculty's attitude to IRs and factors affecting it

[courtois@ksu.edu]

I've found it helpful to mention that articles available in open access
archives are cited more often than articles published in journals
alone.  The increase in citation rates is dramatic, ranging from 40% to
250% depending upon the discipline.

I refer to these studies:

Open Citation Project – Reference Linking and Citation Analysis for Open
Archives (http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html)

Antelman, Kristin.  “Do Open Access Articles Have a Greater Research
Impact?”  College and Research Libraries 65(5):372-382, September 2004
(http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00002309/01/do_open_access_CRL.pdf).
