The introduction of Open Source Science is invaluable to science. Scientists looking for cures to diseases such as AIDS and Malaria need Open Source Science as a way to research without constraints of library hours or costly journal subscriptions. I believe that most people go into the field of science to help others and that is their main purpose not trying to find time or money to research.
Open Source Science is available to anyone anywhere, the scientist needs only to sign onto their internet browser to enable them to search anywhere in the world for information. Not only can they search for information relevant to their research, they can post their own journal articles free of charge.
Information is the key to research, why not open up the communication process so that everyone is capable of finding that one piece needed to cure disease.
