sciencebusiness.net/news/Open-
Open science advocates see room for ‘game changing measures’ in ministers’ stance, while publishers warn against ‘knee jerk policy interventions’

BIG preprint has just dropped:
"Wikipedia and open access"

"We find that open-access articles are extensively and increasingly more cited in Wikipedia.

This open-access citation effect is particularly strong for articles with low citation counts, including recently published
ones."
