Summary:
Blog post from the Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg (Germany) about a traditional guiding argument of the Open Access movement is that the free accessibility of scientific publications also increases the probability of citation on average. A recent study in Scientometrics, reported on by Science, now proves that this is indeed the case. In a bibliometric analysis of publication data from 2010-2019 (19 million publications with 420 million citations), the citation advantage of open access journals over closed access titles was once again confirmed.
