Researchers are more likely to read and cite papers to which they have access than those that they cannot obtain. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of the Open Access (OA) modality to the impact of hybrid journals. For this, the research articles in the year 2017 from 200 hybrid journals in four subject areas, and the citations received by such articles in the period 2017-2020 in the Scopus database, were analyzed. The journals were randomly selected from those with share of OA papers higher than some minimal value. More than 60 thousand research articles were analyzed in the sample, of which 24% under the OA modality. As results, we obtain that cites per article in both hybrid modalities strongly correlate. However, there is no correlation between the OA prevalence and cites per article in any of the hybrid modalities. There is OA citation advantage in 80% of hybrid journals. Moreover, the OA citation advantage is consistent across fields and held in time. We obtain an OA citation advantage of 50% in average, and higher than 37% in half of the hybrid journals. Finally, the OA citation advantage is higher in Humanities than in Science and Social Science.
翻译：研究人员更可能阅读和引用他们能够查阅的论文,而不是他们无法获得的论文。因此,这项工作的目的是分析开放存取(OA)方式对混合期刊的影响的贡献。为此,对2017年在四个主题领域200个混合期刊上发表的4个主题领域的研究文章进行了分析,并对2017-2020年期间Scopus数据库中此类文章的引文进行了分析。这些期刊是从拥有OA论文比例高于某些最低价值的刊物中随机挑选出来的。在样本中分析了6万多篇研究文章,其中24 %采用OA模式。结果显示,在两种混合模式中,每篇文章都引用了24 % 。然而,OA的流行程度与任何混合模式中的每篇文章之间并无关联。80%的混合期刊具有OA引用优势。此外,OA的引用优势在各个领域和时间上是一致的。我们获得了OA的引用优势,平均为50%,在半数混合期刊中超过37%。最后,OA的引用优势在人文学和社会科学领域高于他人。
