At the very least we should evangalise publishers such as this as a great
place to look for specialist sources (for Wikipedia etc.); often I find
myself limited to using paid-access sources and I always feel frustrated by
this.

Free and open journals are awesome, and any opportunity to make use of them
should be encouraged.
