In the wake of Aaron Swartz's death a few days ago (http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/12/us/new-york-reddit-founder-suicide/index.html), and what was his impending trial for allegedly illegally downloading a massive number of articles from MIT's JStor database, I thought it would be a good time to discuss "open access" of research papers.
Not sure about what "open access" is, or why you, as a graduate student and a researcher should care? Please watch this video posted at PhD Comics (http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1533).
