The open data citation boost I
Citation boost (95% CI) p
Impact factor (increase 2X) 84% (54-109%) <0.001
Date of publication (1 month earlier) 3% (2-5%) <0.001
Nationality (US corresponding author) 38% (1-89%) 0.049
Data publicly available 69% (18-143%) 0.006

The open data citation boost II
Reuse by self vs others
Extrapolated reuse by others
Why?
1. Data Reuse2. Credibility Signalling3. Increased Visibility4. Early View5. Selection Bias
