Matthew:  Is there an orginal reference for the comment on PNAS that
"Evidence for the benefits of Open Access *is* now accruing rapidly. e.g.
PNAS just reported that their open access articles, on average, receive
50% more accesses than their subscription-only articles in the first month
after publication. This strongly suggests that, even for a widely read
journal such as PNAS, there is plenty of demand for access to scientific
research articles that is failing to be satisfied by the current
subscription model."
