Summary:

The Internet has revolutionized the way we share and access information, yet most scholarly journal literature remains locked behind paywalls for the average reader. Thus, practitioners and policymakers in fields like education are unable to access articles that would otherwise benefit their professional practice. Moreover, students and researchers in the developing world are excluded from participating in (and citing) the latest scholarly discourse. As journal subscription costs continue to rise at an unsustainable rate (Bosch & Henderson, 2016), forcing academic libraries to cancel large journal packages, the article paywall problem has increasingly come to affect even researchers at affluent institutions in the developed world.
