Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the citation rates of open access (OA), and toll access (TA) articles published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery between 2019 and 2023, and to examine whether OA articles received more citations.
Methods: Using the Web of Science database, articles published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery between 2019 and 2023 were listed, excluding those with corrections or retractions. Articles were divided into 2 groups: OA and TA. The number of articles and citation counts for each group were analyzed by year. Citation rates were compared using the independent sample t test, with a p-value of <0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 4691 articles were analyzed, of which 7.14% were OA and 92.86% were TA. Published in 2021, 2020, and 2019, OA articles had statistically significantly higher citation counts than TA articles. OA articles were found to be funded at a higher rate than TA articles.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that OA articles received more citations over time and were more likely to be funded. Although it is not definitively clear whether the citation advantage stems from the quality of the articles or their open-access status, the citation advantage of OA articles is striking.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
