Colavizza 2020 — papers with data-availability links to repository data receive up to 25.36% more citations

Colavizza, Hrynaszkiewicz, Staden, Whitaker, and McGillivray's 2020 PLOS ONE analysis of 531,889 PLOS and BMC articles found that papers with data-availability statements linking to data in a repository received up to 25.36% (±1.07%) more citations than those without — a substantially larger differential than Piwowar & Vision's 9% baseline (S-0055), measured on a different corpus and methodology.

The result establishes the upper end of the citation-advantage range used in C-0032 (open-data multiplies the return on preserved infrastructure) and in the per-paper C calculations in C-0024 (Agh) and C-0005 (R1). The empirical pattern: when data is deposited in a repository (Tier 1+) rather than offered "on request," the citation advantage rises from ~9% to ~25%. This is the architectural-incentive measurement: the difference between Tier 0 promised-on-request and Tier 1+ actually-deposited is a 16-point swing in citation outcomes, which the Tier 3 deployment captures structurally because deposit becomes a byproduct of the workflow.
