18. An
open
a_tude
can
empower
research:
“there
are
some
fields
(such
as
crystallography
in
chemistry)
in
which
research
is
impeded
because
publisher
copyright
contracts
forbid
the
machine
data-­‐
mining
of
the
digital
data
in
the
arCcles.
But
there
is
no
immediate
way
to
get
publishers
to
allow
that,
so
mandaCng
GraCs
Green
OA
(with
the
ID/OA
compromise)
is
sCll
the
fastest,
surest
and
cheapest
way
to
reach
the
outcome
these
fields
require.”
