Citation Advantage impact of Open Access Gargouri, Y., Hajjem, C., Larivière, V., Gingras, Y., Carr, L., Brody, T., & Harnad, S. (2010). Self-selected or mandated, open access increases citation impact for higher quality research. Plos ONE, 5(10), 1-12. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0013636 There is not a bias in citations to open access articles because of availability only; there is an advantage to citable scholarly articles because of OA. High quality articles that are not accessible (digital, online) are not cited as frequently.
