Summary:

"Not only do these barriers waste time and cause frustration, they are stifling the pace of scientific innovation. Think about it for a second: if 10 million researchers spend an hour per year trying to navigate clunky paywalls and university login pages just to read a few articles, that equates to 10 million hours (or 416,667 days) per year of wasted time that could be better used in actually conducting research."
