Oa is the name of two locations, one a peninsula in Scotland, the other a fictional planet in the DC Comics universe.

 Comparing the Impact of Open Access (OA) vs. Non-OA Articles in the Same Journals
What this kind of analysis is beginning to reveal in the OA era is that there is indeed a "discernible difference" in terms of the frequency with which the article is cited: there is a dramatic advantage in favor of the articles that their authors have made OA (Lawrence 2001; Kurtz 2004; Brody et al.
OA dramatically increases the number of potential users of any given article by adding those users who would otherwise have been unable to access it because their institution could not afford the access-tolls of the journal in which it appeared; therefore, it stands to reason that OA can only increase both usage and impact.
It is hence clear that the ball is now in the universities' court: The sooner they extend their existing publish-or-perish policies to require also providing OA for all those published articles, the sooner the entire research community will enjoy the benefits of maximizing its research impact by maximizing user access to its research output: .
