Pubmed and Open Access Visibility in Biomarker Insights

Posted Tue, Jun, 19,2012

Articles published in open access journals like Biomarker Insights have been shown to receive more citations than articles published in restricted access journals.

A recent review of the studies on open access citation advantage found that 87% of previous research showed open access articles to be more often cited than restricted access articles. An article’s citation level gives a good indication of its visibility and impact, and in some subject areas open access papers received 600% more citations than restricted access papers.

The mean difference in citations was 176.75% in favour of open access, meaning papers published in open access journal almost always get a considerable citation advantage over those published in restricted access journals.

During May, Pubmed Central statistics showed that Libertas Academica has 1,335 papers available for anyone to download for free. These papers received 34,251  views, including 9,058 downloads. The most popular paper was viewed 848 times during the month. Including abstracts, figures, tables, supplementary data, and cited-in lists, Libertas material on the Pubmed Central website was viewed 46,068 times.

What Your Colleagues Say About Libertas Academica
The process of submitting the paper was smooth with little time required on the author's behalf. Reviews were prompt and the process of addressing reviewer comments was very streamlined. All correspondence with the editorial office was extremely professional with immediate responses. This is one of the few journals asking for feedback on their submission process.
