1science Debuts Large-Scale OA Study
1science published the first results of the largest existing study on the impact of more than 3 million OA papers from diverse sources. After studying nearly 35 million citations, it finds that OA papers have a 50% greater citation advantage than traditionally published papers in subscription-based journals (meaning these papers could lose their relevance for researchers and governments). However, OA papers “still [suffer] from the effect of embargoes enforced by traditional publishers who maintain that they require that delay to keep the subscription model alive,” according to the press release. For more information, read the press release.
