PLoS Biology: Open Access Increases Citation Rate
Published By: PLoS Biology on eSS | Published Date: September, 27 , 2006A research article by Gunther Eysenbach published in May 2006 in PLoS Biology
provides robust evidence that openaccess articles (OA articles) are more
immediately recognized and cited than non-OA articles. As such, it adds objective support to the belief we have always held that open-access publication speeds up scientifi c dialog between researchers and, consequently, should be extended to the whole scientifi c literature as quickly as possible.
