| Research Abstract |
To evaluate how the deposition of journal articles into Institutional Repositories (IRs) affects the number of citations and e-journal usage, we placed some articles published in Zoological Science in two IRs, and compared their use in IRs with e-journals, as wel as with the number of resulting citations between 2008 and 2009. The results reveal that deposit in IRs did not reduce e-journal usage. Moreover, whereas the journals gained new readers, this did not have an effect on the number of citations.
