Open-access academic articles more often read
27/08/2008
A new study has concluded that open-access academic articles get read more often but don't generate more citations.
Researchers at Cornell University in the USA randomly assigned 247 articles in 11 scientific journals, to free access. They measured how many times these articles were downloaded, the number of unique visitors to each article and how many times each article was cited.
The research was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is published in the British Medical Journal.
