Summary:
"Frontiers co-founder and CEO, Dr Kamila Markram, presented new data which show that OA journals, in many cases now outperform subscription journals on citations. Overall, OA journals had 2.9 citations per article in 2015–2017 compared with 2.7 for subscriptions journals. Across the portfolios of publishers such as Oxford University Press, Springer-Nature and American Physical Society, OA journals received more citations on average than their subscription-based stablemates."
