Open Access articles are downloaded 25% more often on average, are cited more often, and are cited more quickly upon publication. The author retains copyright and is encouraged to share the article widely across networks and databases rel- evant to their field. We expect that these agreements will therefore be highly advantageous for the visibility of articles and journals. This may be valuable information to share with boards and potential authors. We have found that not all faculty mem- bers of participating institutions are aware of these arrangements. Please do not hesitate to get in touch, should you have questions.
