Objectives: To determine if open-access journal articles receive more citations, downloads, and social media attention than toll-access articles in the health sciences.Methods: Using our university’s CV database, we generated a list of faculty names and articles published between 2013-2016. The following criteria were used to refine this list: 1) the faculty member must have an active appointment in the College of Medicine, and 2) the publication must be a scholarly journal article. After our...

The following criteria were used to refine this list: 1) the faculty member must have an active appointment in the College of Medicine, and 2) the publication must be a scholarly journal article. After our master list was generated and refined, we identified the open access articles by looking up each journal in the Directory of Open Access Journals, and in the case of hybrid journals, viewing the article’s access options on the journal’s website. We then manually retrieved article level metrics for each article on our list. These metrics included altmetric scores and the number of citations, downloads, and views each article received. Our primary source of data was the journal’s website. Secondary sources of data included Dimensions and the Altmetric bookmarklet.Results: On average, articles published open access or available in the institutional repository received at least a 20% increase in number of citations, as compared to articles published exclusively behind a paywall.Conclusions: Open-access articles receive more citations on average than their toll-access counterparts, and we expect to find a similar increase in the number of views, downloads, and altmetric scores. As such, authors and their institutions or funding agencies would benefit from utilizing open access publishing venues to increase the visibility of their research. Libraries have a role in facilitating open access to research by establishing institutional repositories as an alternative venue for freely sharing faculty-authored publications.

Show moreObjectives: An active-learning approach to information literacy instruction can promote student engagement and higher-order thinking, which complement current instructional standards and conceptual frameworks in higher and medical education. This paper demonstrates the value of active-learning strategies mapped to the Association for College & Research Libraries’ (ACRL) Framework guidelines by assessing health sciences students’ perceived self-efficacy of their information literacy skills after participating in varied instructional sessions. Methods: Medical librarian instructors integrated active-learning strategies into, on average, 10 one-shot information literacy lessons per semester for health sciences students at the Florida State University College of Medicine (FSU COM) during spring 2018, fall 2018, and spring 2019. Strategies included guided, abbreviated research simulations; interactive modules for small-group learning; and flipped classroom techniques that required students to submit pre- and post-class assignments. Instructors mapped active- and passive-learning methods to learning concepts identified in appropriate ACRL frames. A cross-sectional, online survey with a 11-point Likert scale that measured perceived self-efficacy for initiating and conducting clinical and scholarly research was distributed to graduate, undergraduate and physician assistant students following information literacy instruction that used active-learning and student-engagement concepts recommended in the ACRL Framework. Quantitative analysis was performed on self-efficacy scores submitted in fall 2018 and spring 2019. Results: Library instruction sessions and data collection are ongoing. Preliminary results collected from students after library instruction sessions suggest moderate-to-high confidence ratings for information literacy competencies. Based on observation, an unanticipated outcome has been an increase in undergraduate senior capstone students seeking one-on-one research consultations with medical librarians when compared to previous semesters. Conclusions: We hope active-learning methods connected to conceptual frameworks and educational standards will support formalized integration of information literacy competencies across the FSU COM curricula. Further conclusions will be described at the time of the presentation.
