As we all await the outcome of what feels like a make-or-break election, I want to offer some perspective, if you’ll hand a fellow with eight-plus decades the mic for a moment.

"Open access improves the dissemination of science: Insights from @Wikipedia"
Key result: Wikipedia increasingly relies on OA articles. Relatedly, OA articles have a higher likelihood of being cited in Wikipedia. The effect is particularly strong for highly cited or newly published articles.
