English abstract

The study selected 516 articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database published by the faculties of Tumkur University, Karnataka, India, between 2011 and 2020 to find out the adaption of open access (OA) publishing. The study found that 19.57% of articles were available in pure OA routes and 63.17% in gold route and a significant difference was found between citations of OA & Non-OA articles in the last ten years. The researchers collaborate with Americans, Canadians, Taiwanese, Germans, Chinese and Swedish authors. The top-ranked journal “Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy” has published 9.88%. Also found that OA articles mean value 17.32 and non-OA articles mean value of 18.03 at 1759 citations.
