Hybrid-OA hematology journals show higher impact, but all-open access (OA) journals are more affordable. All-OA models offer a cost-effective alternative in scientific publishing.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics and scientometrics in medical and health sciences.
- Scholarly communication and journal publishing models.
Background:
- Hematology journals increasingly adopt open access (OA) publication models.
- Comparison of scientometric data between all-OA and hybrid-OA journals is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare scientometric data of hematology journals.
- To evaluate publication models, focusing on all-OA and hybrid-OA.
Main Methods:
- Evaluated 54 hematology journals indexed in SCI and SCI-Expanded.
- Collected bibliometric data including Impact Factor (IF), SJR, ES, and h-index.
- Analyzed Article Publishing Charges (APC) in USD using SPSS version 23.0.
Main Results:
- Hybrid-OA is the predominant publication model (42 journals).
- Hybrid-OA journals demonstrated a significantly higher median h-index (72 vs. 40).
- All-OA journals had lower median APCs ($2490 vs. $3400).
Conclusions:
- Open access is widely adopted in hematology publishing.
- Hybrid-OA journals excel in h-index, while other metrics are comparable.
- All-OA journals present a more economical option due to lower APCs.
