I would say yes - there are a lot of very respectable sources and links
which require some form of payment to get access. Most academic journals are
behind subscription barriers. Some readers of the article will nevertheless
be in an institution with a subscription. It may be better to say
"(subscription required)" after the link just to make it clear though.
