Article influence is better measured by looking at actual citation counts per article which google scholar readily provides. Then, we click links to find who are citing the article. Then we check the h index of the authors citing the articles. From these, we would know that a good article is one that is cited by the experts of the field often with h index of 10 or higher.Open access journals enjoy very high page views and downloads but translate to very low citation counts. Researchers know better, open access journals have low credibility. They would rather use their university library subscription to proquest, thomson, wilson web, among others.
