The OA citation advantage


"The OA Advantage is real, independent and

causal, but skewed. Its size is indeed

correlated with quality, just as citations

themselves are (the top 20% of articles

receive about 80% of all citations)."

OA misconceptions

The OA landscape 24

OA is about moneyIn a way it is -> The Houghton reportOA is a kind of access, not a kind of business model.The majority of full OA journals do not charge APC's.

OA is poor quality (no prestige / no peer review)OA is for preprints, working papers, postprints

The goal is to remove access barriers, not quality filters.

OA limits freedomOA ≠ gold OA

OA is delayed publishing(Gold OA = immediate, Green OA = delayed)

Not all green OA = delayed.Delays exist because publishers insist on embargos.

OA mandates mean an obligation to publishOA mandates interfere with commercial exploitation

The decision to publish is not a part of the mandate.

OA is for lay readers / dangerousOA benefits everyone, including lay readers.

• deposit mandatory also for gold OA

• 6-12 months embargos accepted

In all cases, the Commission would like to encourage authors to retain their copyright and

grant adequate licences to publishers.

What can you do?


What any researcher can already do to promote (proper) Open Access:

• stop reviewing closed-access papers

• stop reviewing for non-gold Open Access journals

• submit only to full-gold Open Access journals

• put your previously closed-access papers in university repositories

• make previously published closed-access papers gold Open Access

• get an ORCID

• use #altmetrics to see that gold Open Access gives you more impact for

your papers toochem-bla-ics blog, Saturday, August 30, 2014
