New Open Access Visibility Information for Biomedical Informatics Insights

Articles published in open access journals like Biomedical Informatics Insights have been shown to receive more citations that articles published in restricted access journals.

Libertas’ goal is to maximize visibility for all articles published in Biomedical Informatics Insights. A recent review of previous research on open access citation levels showed that 87% of previous studies found open access articles were more often cited than restricted access articles.

The citation difference in favor of open access was notably pronounced in certain disciplines, with medicine having a 300-450% difference and agricultural sciences having a 200-600% difference.

This study demonstrates that publishing in open access journals means papers are more visible and more likely to be read and cited.

See New Articles Published In Health Services Insights on Tumblr

Libertas Academica has recently begun using the image-focused social media site Tumblr to publicise new articles and other news.

Benefits of Tumblr

Through Tumblr readers are updated when new articles are published in Health Services Insights that contain interesting or unusual images, and are linked directly to the article through the Libertas Tumblr webpage. A once-weekly summary of articles published is also provided.

Authors whose articles include suitable figures or photographs will have an image from their article and the article link displayed on the Libertas Tumblr blog*. This will give the article increased online visibility.

What is Tumblr?

Tumblr was founded in 2007 with the aim to be easy to use and allow high quality videos and photographs to be easily uploaded and viewed. Since then it has been highly successful, breaking into the top 10 most popular social media sites.

Tumblr is one of the largest and fastest growing social networking sites in America. It attracts around 13.5 million visitors every month and has received over 5 billion posts to date.

Why is Tumblr Unique?

Tumblr is unlike other social media because it focuses on vision and sound posts instead of text. Almost all posts on Tumblr include a photograph, drawing, video, or auditory clip.  This makes Tumblr an ideal medium for Libertas to promote new articles that feature unusual and appealing images.

Visit the Libertas Academica Tumblr blog and follow us if you have a Tumblr account

*Images of humans or animals and images that people may be offended by will not be used.

Primary Prevention Insights Now Uses Project Counter Analytics

Enhanced visibility is one of the prime advantages to authors of publishing in an open access journal like Primary Prevention Insights.

One of the ways we measure an article's visibility is the number of views and downloads it receives.  The resulting number is available on the journal's webpages for each article, and by adding those numbers together we obtain the journal's visibility figure.

Counting views and downloads is complicated by the possibility of fraud and automated views by search engines.  To ensure that readers and authors can have confidence in our visibility analytics we have now formally joined Project Counter.  Release 3 of Project Counter's code of practice addresses these and other problems.

Primary Prevention Insights' membership of Project Counter ensures that readers and authors can trust its visibility analytics.

Visit this page to see the latest visibility information for Primary Prevention Insights.

Email alerts recipients receive short, plain text notifications whenever a new article is published.  Notifications are also provided for forthcoming papers and journal news items.  No more than one email is sent per day and all emails are plain text, making them easy to read and quick to download on mobile devices.
