生命医学分野のオープンアクセスの現状(ASIST Annual Meeting 2006)

べつにどうということもありませんが、早速Harnad先生からのコメントもきているようですね。批判はべつにして最後の2行は彼らしい。

(前略)

reported that there is a positive correlation between citation-bracket
and OA (the higher the citations, the more likely the article is OA), and
there is disagreement over how much of this effect is a causal Quality
Advantage (OA causing higher citations for higher quality articles)
or a self-selection Quality Bias (authors of higher quality articles
being more likely to make them OA, one way or the other). The present
results don't resolve this, as they go both ways.

Clearly, more studies are needed. But even more than that, more OA is
needed!
