Not research papers either, but a recent explanation on why ESA is sharing
Rosette NAVCAM images under cc by sa.

Not what you asked, but UNESCO's recent leaflet is rather nice and has a 
dozen pages on impact.

We would welcome sharing with us some evidence-based research on how
licensing works under the Creative Commons attribution licence has made an
impact in the area of scientific, technical and medical publishing.


What sort of impact? Even the most negative found an impact on citations

Those definitions are wrong: "green" is self-archiving by the author (e.g. by 
posting a copy on arxiv), while "gold" is open access via the journal's site. 
Neither 'gold' or 'green' means that the content can be reused, although 
articles may also be released under a free license. Have a read of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal 

(and note that no-where does that article use the word "reuse", or even 
"licence").

Thanks,
Mike
