Impact of open access on citation of scholarly publications in the field of civil engineering
Koler-Povh, Teja ; Južnič, Primož ; Turk, Goran
The development of science is accompanied by growth of scholarly publications,primarily in the form of articles in peer-reviewed journals. Scientific work is often evaluated through the number of ...scientific publications in international journals and their citations. This article discusses the impact of open access (OA) on the number of citations for an institution from the field of civil engineering. We analyzed articles, published in 2007 in 14 international journals with IF, which are included in the JCR subject category "Civil Engineering". The influence of open access on the number of citations was analysed. The aim of our research was to determine, if open access articles from the field of civil engineering receivemore citations than non-open access articles. Based on the value of impact factor and ranking in quartiles, we also looked at the influence of therank of journals on the number of citations, separately for OA and NonOA articles, in databases Web of Science (WOS), Scopus and Google Scholar (GS). For 2026 studied articles we found out that 22 % of them were published as OA articles. They received 29 % of all citations in the observed period. This could be confirmed only partly for journals from the second quartile, and would not be confirmed for journals ranked into the third quartile. This showsthat open access is not a sufficient condition for citation, but increases the number of citations for articles published in journals with highimpact.
