- The Open Access is the new major activity in the panorama of contemporary scientific literature. The availability of scientific articles freely placed on the Web by the researchers, in accordance with copyright laws and under the two modes of self-archiving or Open journals, has triggered a broad debate about the opportunities offered by the Open Access (OA) on the growth of citations and downloads. Many studies conducted on different data sets and from different points of view, lead to varied and sometimes contradictory results, depending on the disciplinary field, attitude of researchers, conduct citation and the methodology employed. This work aims to frame the international debate on the advantage citation of articles published in Open Access, then present and discuss the overall data sull'Impact Factor of open access journals, the result of an original study conducted in the Journal Citation Reports (Thomson Reuters). The basic idea is to test the performance of OA journals according to the traditional bibliometric indicators dell'Impact Factor, in order to test the hypothesis that unrestricted access may involve a greater number of citations and, therefore, also a good impact factor. The results seem to confirm: the 38,62% of Open Access journals included in the "Journal Citation Reports" is positioned in the first fifty percentile as an indicator when considering the Impact Factor. If you use the Immediacy Index is the percentage is 37.16%, while the second new indicator dell'Impact Factor over 5 years - however, only applies to 356 titles on 479 - the percentage rises to 40.05%.
