Abstract: As publishers and libraries attempt to align business models and collection strategies to an everincreasing open access (OA) publishing landscape, both have found that the message of open access citation advantage (OACA) resonates with current and prospective authors. Despite its widespread promotion and acceptance, however, OACA is not universal and is subject to ongoing debate. This quantitative study contributes to the OACA debate and research with a longitudinal focus on citation data from journal articles published 2018-2021 by University of Kentucky-affiliated authors. The article and citation data for University of Kentucky-affiliated authors are supplemented with University of Kentucky College and departmental data, providing valuable local context. In addition to author-level departmental data, this study also considers traditional confounding variables often investigated in OACA studies, such as OA modality, funding, and funding source, and introduces journal publisher as a variable for OACA analysis. This study not only provides local context for University of Kentucky Libraries, but also serves as a template that other librarians can leverage to gain insight into local OA publishing and influence how they collaborate with faculty, researchers, and publishers on how the OA landscape impacts authors, research outputs, and library collections budgets.
