Summary:

"Inspired by Vice President Biden’s Moonshot Initiative, we asked: How common are such paywalls for the latest research articles on cancer? To find out, we looked at news stories published in 2016 with “cancer” in their headlines that contained a link to a research article. Using data on online media mentions provided by Altmetric, we found 67,236 news stories with links to 11,523 different journal articles. We then used a new service, oaDOI, provided by ImpactStory combined with automated efforts to locate a freely available PDF on the article’s page, to determine the percentage of articles that the public could read without being asked for payment by the publisher*."
