Open access, and what it is worth here

Open-access share1.4%
45 of 3,282 peer-reviewed articles carry an open licence. Where no licence could be read the article counts as not open, so this is a floor rather than an estimate.
Citations per article, open vs paywalled15.4 vs 16.1
Over the whole record, and for that reason not a fair comparison: open licences are recent, so the open articles are younger and have had fewer years to be cited. The like-for-like figure below is the one to read.

There are too few years in which Journal of Basic Microbiology published both open and paywalled articles in quantity to compare the two without the comparison turning into a comparison of article ages.
Journal of Basic Microbiology open access
This chart shows the share of Journal of Basic Microbiology's peer-reviewed articles published under an open licence, by year, with the percentile among comparable entities. The licence is read from the article itself, so the denominator is the articles whose licence could be established — an article carrying no licence statement is left out of both sides rather than counted as closed. A year appears only where at least 10 articles carry a readable licence, which is why the series begins where open licensing does rather than at the start of the record.
