An analysis of 2,765 articles published in four math journals from 1997 to 2005 indicate that articles deposited in the arXiv received 35% more citations on average than non-deposited articles (an advantage of about 1.1 citations per article), and that this difference was most pronounced for highly-cited articles. Open Access, Early View, and Quality Differential were examined as three non-exclusive postulates for explaining the citation advantage. There was little support for a universal Open Access explanation, and no empirical support for Early View. There was some inferential support for a Quality Differential brought about by more highlycitable articles being deposited in the arXiv. In spite of their citation advantage, arXiv-deposited articles received 23% fewer downloads from the publisher's website (about 10 fewer downloads per article) in all but the most recent two years after publication. The data suggest that arXiv and the publisher's website may be fulfilling distinct functional needs of the reader.2

“…4,7 In these studies article readership was 4 introduces four distinct stages or 'modes', where an article moves to 'new' to 'recent' to 'interesting' to 'historical'. Using the arXiv usage logs, we will investigate whether the readership of e-prints follows trends similar to those in the astronomical literature.…”

E‐prints and journal articles in astronomy: a productive co‐existence

Are the e‐prints (electronic preprints) from the arXiv repository being used instead of journal articles? We show that the e‐prints have not undermined the usage of journal papers from the four core journals in astrophysics. As soon as the journal article is published, the astronomical community prefers to read it and the use of e‐prints through the NASA Astrophysics Data System drops to zero. This suggests that most astronomers have access to institutional subscriptions and that they choose to read the journal article. In other words, the e‐prints have not undermined journal use in this community and thus currently do not pose a financial threat to publishers. Furthermore, we show that the half‐life (the point at which the use of an article drops to half the use of a newly published article) for an e‐print is shorter than for a journal paper.

“…Quality bias means that authors post their best articles that are more likely to be cited freely on the web. Ten studies confirm the phenomenon of early advantage (31,38,41,(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73)77,81).…”

“…Schwarz (69) compared 795 OA articles posted to arXiv and subscribed articles from the Astrophysical Journal. Kurtz (38,70) conducted two studies using citations from 4,271 articles in Astrophysical journal and 2,592 articles in the seven core astrophysics journals. Within the sample of 4,900 articles from 16 journals, Aman (71) compared the speed until the first citation and total number of citations between articles published with an OA arXiv preprint and those without.…”

IzvlečekIzhodišča: Namen članka je podati pregled vpliva odprtega dostopa na znanstvene objave v medicini glede na tri kategorije: citiranost, vidnost in omembe v socialnih medijih.Metode: Podatke smo pridobili z iskalno strategijo, ki je vsebovala ključne besede, kot so "open access", "citation impact", "citation advantage", "citations count", "article download", "article usage", "social media attention" in "altmetrics".Rezultati: Z iskalno strategijo, ki smo jo uporabili v treh zbirkah podatkov, smo pridobili stosedem člankov, primernih za analizo. V sedeminšestdesetih člankih izmed teh se uporablja enostavna metodologija štetja citatov odprtodostopnih člankov in člankov iz naročniških revij, v devetnajst člankih se primerja število citatov in vpogledov, v enaindvajsetih člankih se raziskujejo omembe v socialnih medijih. Od tega je petindvajset člankov medicinskih, v katerih se obravnava vpliv vseh navedenih kategorij.Zaključki: V sedeminšestdesetih člankih izmed teh se uporablja enostavna metodologija štetja citatov odprtodostopnih člankov in člankov iz naročniških revij, v devetnajst člankih se primerja število citatov in vpogledov, v enaindvajsetih člankih se raziskujejo omembe v socialnih medijih. Od tega je petindvajset člankov medicinskih, v katerih se obravnava vpliv vseh navedenih kategorij. AbstractBackground: The aim of the article is to conduct an overview of the impact of OA on the medical articles based on 3-part categorization.Methods: Data were identified by a search strategy with eight combinations of keywords (open access, citation impact, citation advantage, citation count, article download, article usage, social media attention, altmetrics) and searched in three different databases. Results:The analysis was conducted on 107 studies dealing with citations, downloads and social impact. Sixty-seven of them simply employed the counting citations to OA and non-OA articles; nineteen articles compared the downloads and citations counts; and twenty-one articles investigated the social impact of OA articles. Twenty-five articles investigated the citations, download counts, and social impact of medical articles. Conclusions:The studies investigating the citation impact mostly showed citation advantages. Those that employed citation and download counts of medical articles using randomized controlled trials showed that OA articles were downloaded significantly more frequently, but found no evidence
