Impact of open access on citations, Pageviews, and downloads: a scientometric analysis in Postgraduate Medical Journal | Postgraduate Medical Journal | Oxford Academic

"The study highlights a significant and independent association of OA publishing with increased citation counts, page views, and PDF downloads in PMJ, suggesting that OA articles have broader reach and greater visibility. Further research, including randomized controlled studies across various journals, is needed to confirm these findings and explore the full impact of OA publishing."
