I'm just catching this discussion in passing, but would be interested in
any pointers to information anyone turns up.

The one article that comes to mind is Free Scholarly Electronic
Journals: How Good Are They? by Fosmire and Yu in the Summer 2000 issue
of Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship.
http://www.library.ucsb.edu/istl/00-summer/refereed.html Some good
number crunching was done here and could be helpful to others doign
similar studies.

A related study that involves some good citation number crunching is by

library's core collection through citation analysis
