> "Based on our close review of the available evidence, there is no
> clear citation advantage for open access articles, or at least not one
> that can be identified as solely being related to an article’s access
> status.  Whilst early studies suggested a causal relationship between
> article OA status and higher citation counts, subsequent studies
> identify weaknesses in the methodology used in earlier studies where a
> citation advantage had been found."
