Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
