SEPTEMBER98-FORUM archives — 2003 (#467)
This message by open access leader Steven Harnad links to data on use of Elsevier ScienceDirect, BioMed Central, and “citebase” (an Open Archives service that allows researchers to search across free, full-text research literature eprint archives). Harnad notes that comparing these figures one can see,
“…the dramatic way in which open access enhances research citation impact, confirming what Steve Lawrence reported in 2001 for computer science research:

and what Kurtz et al. reported for astrophysical research:
