Do open access articles have greater citation impact?: A critical review of the literature (2007, unknown): “The first study to assess the effect of Green OA relating to published journal articles (and not simply to conference proceedings and ‘online availability’) was published by Harnad and Brody,10 and elements of these data were included in later papers.11,12 Over 95,000 pre-print manuscripts in physic”
The Access/Impact Problem and the Green and Gold Roads to Open Access: An Update (2008, background): “1).(5,10) How did some of the articles in those non-OA journals become OA? Because their authors “self-archived” them on the Web (i.”
Impact of data sources on citation counts and rankings of LIS faculty: Web of science versus scopus and google scholar (2007, background): “According to Harnad and Brody ( 2004 ) : The proportion of articles for which their authors provide OA [ Open Access ] is likely to increase dramatically now , in part because of the mounting evidence for the impact advan - tage OA confers .”
University Faculty Awareness and Attitudes towards Open Access Publishing and the Institutional Repository: A Case Study (2015, unknown): “More studies favoring the OA advantage exist (Antelman, 2004; Eysenbach, 2006; Gargouri, et al., 2010; Harnad & Brody, 2004; Norris, Oppenheim, & Rowland, 2008; Perkel, 2006; Xia & Nakanishi, 2012) than those that found no advantage (Craig, Plume, McVeigh, Pringle, & Amin, 2007; Davis & Fromerth,…”
Participation in the global knowledge commons: challenges and opportunities for research dissemination in developing countries (2005, background): “Opposition would indeed create a conflict of interest between themselves and their authors, given the growing empirical evidence for the dramatic benefits of OA for research and researchers (Harnad and Brody 2004).”
How open science helps researchers succeed (2016, methodology): “References by discipline: Agricultural studies (Kousha and Abdoli, 2010); Physics/astronomy (GentilBeccot et al., 2010; Harnad and Brody, 2004; Metcalfe, 2006); Medicine (Sahu et al., 2005; Xu et al., 2011); Computer science (Lawrence, 2001); Sociology/social sciences (Hajjem et al., 2006; Norris…”
Ten-Year Cross-Disciplinary Comparison of the Growth of Open Access and How it Increases Research Citation Impact (2005, background): “We have since replicated this OA citation advantage based on a single large central OA archive in physic s [10, 11] and have begun testing it more widely [7].”
