DLIST Funding Proposal: The Impact of Open Access on Library and Information Science

Cheryl Knott Malone and Anita Coleman, The Impact of Open Access on Library and Information Science, text of a funding proposal, self-archived November 10, 2005.

This funding proposal is for research to answer the deceptively simple question, to what extent does open access improve the impact of an article?

The abstract notes that usage of usage of DLIST has grown from 41,156 hits in February 2004 to 112,728 hits in January 2005 - a near tripling of usage, in less than a year.

Thanks to Open Access News, Friday, November 11, 2005, for the alert.
