Open Access: Self-Selected, Mandated & Random: Answers & Questions

Amsciforum 2013-03-10

Summary:

A series of responses to questions raised by Phil Davis about our paper testing whether the OA citation Advantage is just a side-effect of author self-selection -- responses for which we did further analyses of our data (Gargouri et al, currently under refereeing) http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/18346/ We are happy to have performed these further analyses, and we are very much in favor of this sort of open discussion and feedback on pre-refereeing preprints of papers that have been submitted and are undergoing peer review. They can only improve the quality of the eventual published version of articles. However, having carefully responded to Phil's welcome questions we go on to ask Phil to respond in kind to a question that we raised about his own paper (Davis et al 2008) a year and a half ago. http://www.bmj.com/cgi/eletters/337/jul31_1/a568#199775
