University Institutional Repository impact on citation of journal articles

[Chiner Arias, Alejandro]

Does article self-archiving in an Institutional Repository increase
citation of the articles that are later published in peer-reviewed
scholarly journals?

The literature I am trying to find should provide empirical evidence to
answer this question and should be specifically about self-archiving in
Institutional Repositories.

I am aware of the following bibliography and I know there are plenty of
studies about the citation impact of Open Access in general, including
OA journals and cross-institutional or subject repositories like arXiv.
I am also aware of studies about the impact of OAI searchable archiving.
All of which I find cogent and I do not need to be persuaded.

Unfortunately the above is not enough for my work.  I need something
specifically about Institutional Repositories, understood as a
university's green OA archive for the research by its academic staff.

Please can I ask from the list if you know of any studies along these
lines?

Many thanks for you help.

Alejandro
