Chen, Briana K., et al. "Effects of Open Access publishing on article metrics in Neuropsychopharmacology." Neuropsychopharmacology, (2024).
The findings of this paper indicate that the free availability of article content on the publisher’s website is associated with an increase in citations of scholarly journal articles but may only provide a moderate boost in their Altmetric score: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-024-01796-4.

The 2021 Librarian Futures Report Highlights.
According to the research report by Hayes, Henry, and Shaw (2021), workflow management is increasingly germane to library operations, as patron needs evolve. While academic libraries are dedicated to supporting the educational and research missions of their associated institutions, around the world these undergo transformations, under the impact of digitization and the continued need to remove barriers to knowledge access. Likewise, librarians serve both faculty and student constituencies with differing content usage preferences and profiles. Thus, albeit to different degrees, libraries ensure the success of their patrons, in correspondence to their usage patterns. This takes place on the background of a more than 30% growth in digital resource adoption between 2020 and 2021, in the pandemic period. That can, however, be hampered by a limited user friendliness of library interfaces and systems, as enterprise services become increasingly important for knowledge discovery, such as for literature search purposes. This is also likely to contribute to the information- and productivity-centric transformation of academic libraries, as they become decreasingly perceived solely as book or journal warehouses. Similarly, transitions to Open Access emphasize the growing focus of libraries on expertise and skill transmission (Hayes, Henry, and Shaw, 2021).

How Students Can Be Using the Open Research Library
To learn about using the Open Research Library (ORL), platform visitors can consult still largely relevant video tutorial at this link: https://vimeo.com/195458066.
For the general audience, this introduction provides a summary of the ORL that can be of great help: https://openresearch.community/videos/introduction-to-the-open-research-library.
This relatively recent webinar recording provides more information about both KU and the ORL: https://openresearch.community/videos/how-to-use-the-open-research-library-a-free-and-easy-to-use-open-access-hosting-platform.
For the ORL content, the citation information can be found in the Citations tab that is next to the default Details-tab presentation of information for each ORL item, such as here https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/a0d3b169-2ec5-4a8f-bec9-29b80e6ad861/citations.
One can search for resources either from the ORL homepage or from the Avanced Search interface: https://openresearchlibrary.org/advanced-search.
While the default search option is the most comprehensive, as it includes the full text search results derived from ORL content items, it is advisable to switch to title-only search, if the intention is to look for specific content types or categories, such as books from specific publishers or ORL modules, e.g., Open Educational Resources.
Thus, the search results of all ORL books can be further refined by license type, publication year, book language or publisher name: https://openresearchlibrary.org/search-results/t%3D*%26_f%3D%2522BOOK%2522%26full-text%3Dfalse.

Open Access in Kultureinrichtungen ist das Thema der Stunde. Das gilt nicht nur insgesamt in der Open GLAM-Community, sondern natürlich auch bei Kultureinrichtungen sowohl in Berlin als auch in anderen Städten in Deutschland https://open-access-brandenburg.de/rechtsfragen_forschungsethik_open-access_openglam/
Given that Open Access can enhance scholarly integrity, universities begin including Open Science practices, such as sharing empirical data via repositories and publishing in Open Access journals, into their criteria for faculty promotion https://sparcopen.org/news/2022/the-university-of-maryland-department-of-psychology-leads-the-way-in-aligning-open-science-with-promotion-tenure-guidelines/
Digital collections in Open Access can make rare, valuable manuscripts and books available to researchers worldwide https://college.unc.edu/2022/06/digitize-manuscripts/
Library partnerships play a significant role in transitioning scholarly collections into Open Access https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2022-05-31/bloomington-library-partners-with-museum-to-open-access-to-local-historical-collections
Open Science practices, such as preprint deposition, can contribute to changing the system of academic publishing, while promoting research visibility, knowledge diversity and data sovereignty https://www.researchinformation.info/feature/pandemic-brings-preprints-spotlight
As new preprint servers continue to be launched, their limited scholarly community uptake and insufficient quality control mechanisms across geographic areas, language groups, and scientific fields, however, do not outweigh their long-term benefits https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01359-x
University textbooks in Open Access facilitate collaborations between scholars and experts, enable the inclusion of different subject-matter perspectives and make rapid curricular responses to new developments possible https://sparcopen.org/news/2022/oer-resources-to-help-equip-growing-field-of-scholcomm-librarianship/
Transitioning scholarly journals into Open Access likely requires sustainable publication support models, external funding sources and ecosystems involving library stakeholders, such as for quality assurance https://www.uu.nl/en/background/glossa-how-a-journal-took-matters-into-their-own-hands-to-make-research-available

In emerging markets, such as in Africa, misconceptions about Open Access continue to linger, due to low levels of awareness of the implications that Open Science has for scholarly stakeholders, e.g., publishing costs, quality assurance and copyright issues https://theplosblog.plos.org/2022/05/expanding-globally-listening-locally-open-science-in-africa/

Recent reports from Springer Nature indicate that in 2021 the usage levels of scholarly articles in Open Access were almost three times higher than those for closed-access, paywall papers https://group.springernature.com/gp/group/media/press-releases/oa-content-up-40-percent-across-springer-nature-tjs/23107468
Article processing charges can deepen inequalities between researchers in low-income countries and their counterparts in high-income ones, which demands multilateral, global, cooperative solutions https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01414-7
As recent findings suggest, in the scholarly publishing sector, the market forces of supply and demand go hand in hand with the economies of scale, since Open Access journals with higher processing charges also tend to publish less articles and vice versa https://www.the-scientist.com/critic-at-large/opinion-is-open-access-worth-the-cost-70049

From the perspective of the time that elapsed, it fascinating to see the price dynamics in the Open Access monograph sector: https://osc.cam.ac.uk/monographs/open-access-and-monographs/oa-monograph-costs.
Open Access to empirical data also involves data management workflows, while likely facilitating stakeholder partnerships and research data reuse.
According to this paper, different citation impact databases reflect the bibliometric landscapes that their publication inclusion, measurement methodologies and disciplinary affinities shape.
This paper indicates, based on its exploratory analyses, that gambling research studies that used Open Science practices, and Open Access publishing in particular, had higher than average citation counts.
As this report indicates, during the COVID-19 pandemic period, academic libraries around the world have been facing challenges related to internal budget pressures, external financial crises, publisher negotiation difficulties and digital book supply-demand discrepancies.
This paper indicates that, while between 2016 and 2020 the total article processing charge amounts have fluctuated in the United States, these have increased in the United Kingdom, France, Norway, and the Netherlands, while steeply rising in both absolute and relative terms in China in the same period.
