Have you ever heard of the term Open Access[1]? If you have never heard about it, I guess you have never tried to get access to those scholarly article or research online. It is a painful experience when you finally find a research paper relates to your group project on Google Scholar but which requires a purchase to access. Personally, I have such experiences occasionally in many of my school project researches. This is a reason why I am a strong supporter of Open Access Movement[2]. Open Access Movement is the worldwide effort to provide free access to scientific and scholarly researches. In 2013, the US government "issued United States' Federal Agencies with more than $100 million in annual R&D expenditures to develop plans within six months to make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publication" [3]. Other countries like China, Russia, Japan, India and etc, all trying to achieve open access for individuals. Thus, our question comes out: How is the progress of Open Access Movement? Are we getting fruitful results? Or are we indeed taking a bottleneck phase?
