Anyway, the main point – that the paper will reach most of its addressees even behind a paywall – stays unchanged. | |

But the authors might not care much about that, since those readers won't provide citations. Personally I've read far more papers about my hobby than about things I actually studied at university, so I'm very happy about open access. | |
