Whats Is Open Access and How Can It Help Us?

Summary:

"Science is at its best when it is shared, and this happens when there are no restrictions to access it. Taxpayer money is already paying for all of this, why not work on some models that allow broad distribution of knowledge with no restrictions? Faster discoveries benefit everyone.

No one wants to pay an arm and a leg for an article that has every possibility of being free, that ultimately may not even end up being useful! This does not mean that publishing costs become free, it just means that there will be alternative means of accessing information that should not be out of reach for those interested...."
