Open Access
Open access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
The basic idea of OA is simple: make research literature available online without price barriers and without most permission barriers.
[It is] the academic custom to write research articles for impact rather than money… [OA] supports academic freedom and the kinds of serious inquiry that advance knowledge.
How did this start?

“These figures are so bogus as to be unbelievable. What is the point of sending out statistics that are clearly unrealistic? There is absolutely no way that my one article in the DASH system (an article published in the late 1980s) is generating downloads 326 times by 103 users in 22 countries. It was of course a great article, my first!, but whatever methodology you are using to collect data on use of articles must be fundamentally flawed.”

“Thanks very much for the time and effort you have taken to investigate and respond to my question. I still find it remarkable that one obscure article from 1985 generates such great interest! I will certainly set to work submitting more articles in order to feed my hungry fan base!”
