“As a middle school
science teacher, I do
not have the funds
to subscribe to the
traditional science
journals. The availability
of research papers will
benefit the future of
scientific research by
providing motivation and
stimulation for millions of
fledgling scientists.”

“Universities, who
support and produce
research, can’t keep
up with inflating journal
prices and are forced to
cut subscriptions.
With Open Access,
instead of cutting off
access to information
to professors and
students, we are able to
provide that knowledge
without increasing the
college’s costs.”

“The critical aspect
of Open Access for
me is that increased
discoverability and
browseability will lead
to greater efficiency of
conducting research.
Any savings in efficiency
translate quite directly
into savings for taxpayers
and time savings for
researchers. That
ultimately means more
discoveries, sooner, for
less money.”

“I’m a primary care
clinician. I want to take
care of my patients
using the best available
research evidence,
which happens to
be published almost
exclusively in medical
journals. Prior to Open
Access, this research
was often locked behind
subscription barriers.
With Open Access, I can
get easier, wider access
to the research evidence
that I need to do the best
for my patients.”

“Open Access helps
scientists make the
discoveries we need to
improve health, provides
the opportunity for their
work to be more easily
read and cited, enables
integration of research
with other resources,
helps funding bodies
evaluate the research
they have funded, and
ensures that the digital
record of medicine can
be preserved.”
