Even worse: Most research papers are hidden behind paywalls.
These issues make it difficult to chase a "true path" toward discovery. Grad students are doomed to repeat experiments that others have already tried.
We chase ghosts & red herrings.

Did you know that publishing in Open Access (OA) journals can help your research to gain more visibility? Recent studies* have shown that OA articles tend to receive more attention and citations than those behind a paywall. Read the article at https://t.co/A4vMV9uY4X https://t.co/cFGsW4XBB6
@SarahHLib Personaly, I would consider 13-16% of the literature as more than occasional. In this study, it's shown to be more than gold or green. (https://t.co/jv17r1hadW)
@w_carruthers This is a bit citation focused, but with a good literature survey that may include papers with more ‘engagement’ analysis: https://t.co/PrQEQtHQCM
@gutlessgu Not history, it needs to know what website you are on so it can query the paper in it's dbase to find an open copy. How else would it work? Its an open source project made by a non-profit so the source code is open to all.
Dunno but see here: https://t.co/2BZ4d0MJfX
Dunno.
#OpenAccess is known as good for #authors & good for #readers. In “The state of OA”, #researchers Piwowar et. al (2018) reported that #OA #articles received 18% more citations on avg. than non-OA articles.

@JohanRooryck @mtclarke @robertkiley If journals are (a bundle of) services, the payment is for platform/context effects? As this article showed, in general, OA in a hybrid gets you more cites than OA in pure gold - https://t.co/jv17r1hadW (Figure 5).

@HeidiBaya Hier ist die Quelle, mit der wir gearbeitet haben: https://t.co/pdIHKOTxpR
"Our results confirm the Open Access Citation Advantage found by other studies: open articles receive 18% more citations than otherwise expected."
@ElaineToomey1 Bronze OA (or "Free") makes up the largest amount of open access publications. 17.6% of all articles in 2015. Compared to 11.3% Gold, 9.4% Hybrid, and 6.3% Green. https://t.co/wwvtaQYCyo @researchremix
@marcschiltz1 @JasminLange @jeroenbosman Seems to me an OA article in a hybrid journal is a fully OA article; nothing restricts its re-use or access vs OA article in all OA journal. And, OA in hybrid journal on average has citation advantage over OA in all OA journal (https://t.co/jv17r1hadW).
@BMittermaier @EllenEuler @FHPotsdam @fz_juelich Dazu kann man tatsächlich streiten. Wir verwenden im OAM die Definition von @unpayll: "the most common mechanism for OA is not Gold, Green, or Hybrid OA, but rather an under-discussed category we dub Bronze"
