 The main databases for OA articles and journals are the Directory of Open Access Journals ([DOAJ](https://doaj.org/)) and PubMed Central ([PMC](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/)). In the case of DOAJ, only fully "gold" OA journals are included, whereas PMC also hosts articles from hybrid journals. Databases like this often form the basis for bibliometric studies of the global journal and publishing landscape.

 While there is a clear ethical and more case for OA, communicating the personal impact it can have on individuals helps to leverage intrinsic motivations for researchers. As in, there has to be something in it for them. Thankfully, there is a strong almost universal case for an impact advantage for researchers who choose to publish OA.
 
-For example, a traditional measure of research impact is the number of citations and article receives. [Most studies](https://www.scienceopen.com/collection/996823e0-8104-4490-b26a-f2f733f810fb?0) that have analysed the "Open Access citation advantage" have found that OA articles tend to receive more citations. Again, this is conceptially common sense. If more people can access and read your work, more people can cite your work.

+Almost no one disagrees with OA, in principle. However, as with many things there is a divergence between the ideology behind, and the practices of, OA. 
 
 As with each module, we do not want to pretend like openness is this magical cure to all the problems in academia. There are constant and vigorous debates about all aspects of it, and Open Access is no exception. It is our duty to be honest to you all, and communicate some of the potential barriers and limitations to OA here.
 
 Nicely, some good work has been done on this already. In [2018, Gareth Johnson](https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-6-Open-Access-to-Research-Papers/blob/master/Reading%20Material_Open%20Access%20to%20Research%20Papers/Johnson%2C%202018.pdf) looked at the barriers to OA in the UK:
 
 > Notably, while participants represented an array of potential mechanistic, policy or legal blocks, it was the academic community’s knowledge of and attitudes towards OA that were shown to present the greatest obstacles. Despite the endeavours of OA practitioners who were devoted to advocacy, the majority of scholars’ understanding or embrace of openness within research dissemination practice was found to be ‘patchy’, ‘ill-informed’ or ‘confused’.
 
-There is also the fact that often, publishing OA does cost money. We discuss this in detail a lot in SECTION XXXX, and a lot of free alternative routes. However, the reality is often that if you want to publish OA in a specific journal, there will be charges associated with that. Therefore, it is up to you and your authors to be aware of potential funding sources that might be available to you. As well as the options for parallel 'green OA' or self-archiving that the journals permit.
