Open Access does not increase citations for research articles from The Astrophysical Journal (0709.0896v1)
Published 6 Sep 2007 in cs.DL and cs.CY
Abstract: We demonstrate conclusively that there is no "Open Access Advantage" for papers from the Astrophysical Journal. The two to one citation advantage enjoyed by papers deposited in the arXiv e-print server is due entirely to the nature and timing of the deposited papers. This may have implications for other disciplines.
